WEBELOS II and INVITED GUESTS:
We are very happy to have you as our guests at this outing and be included in our Saturday activities. See directions to McDowell Mountain Regional Park within. Please gather at the Youth Group Site.
When you arrive, the Webelos II will join with our Scout Patrols and participate in the Mountain Man activities. Webelos II should be in their Scout Uniform, weather appropriate clothing, have a filled water bottle and snacks for the day. Lunch is provided for Webelos II, parents, and adult leaders.
Webelos II should plan to arrive by 9am and will be engaged in the activities until 3:30 or 4:00pm. You are welcome to depart at that time or you are welcome to camp with us for the night and participate in the Troop events for the evening. There are special rules for Webelos II camping overnight.
