As many of you have noticed, there are now two sessions of Webelos Scout Camp being offered.  Each session will be identical in regards to the programs offered.  Within each Webelos Scout session, two distinct program trails will be available. The first trail will be geared toward those boys in their first year of the Webelos Scout program, the second trail will have programs geared toward the second year Webelos Scout.  Both first and second year Webelos Scouts will now attend camp for five days and four nights, but will have age appropriate programming available to them during the same session of camp.

The addition of a second session of Webelos Scout Camp and a Cub Scout Resident Camp planning committee address the two issues most commonly found in the camp evaluation forms, an overcrowded camp and a lack in the program planning.  The Camping Committee of the Great Rivers Council thanks you in advance for helping us plan the best Cub Scout Camping possible for the summer of 2003.
