Webelos Academy 2010

 

Saturday, September 25, 2010     8:30 AM – 4:00 PM

Ouachita Technical College in Malvern

Webelos Academy is a unique opportunity for Webelos to earn 2 pins in one day in the midst of older scouts.  One of the main reasons for Cub Scouting is to PREPARE young boys to transition into Boy Scouts.  What better way than to interact with them.  The Boy Scouts will be on campus involved in their own Merit Badge groups while the Webelos are working in their groups.

Fill out the registration form as a Den and have the individual boy place his first and second choices per session on the form.  Attach $10 / boy for insurance, lunch, and supplies.  The boys should wear Class A uniforms if you have it. If not make it Class B representing your Den, Pack, District, or Council.

Be checked in at registration between 8:30 – 8:45 AM to see your schedule for the day.  Follow the signs to the Webelos area for an opening ceremony at 9AM ready for announcements to start the day.

Adult classes will be available for $5 / adult.

Registration form can be found at:
