Pack 28 was
the largest group attending Wild Webelos Weekend 2000. This was the 10th
Anniversary of Wild Webelos Weekend as hosted by the Housatonic Council.
Each Webelo and parent received a special event patch as shown here.
After arriving at camp on
Friday evening and setting up, the campfire was started and everyone
settled in getting used to natures surroundings. As the evening
progressed, the temperatures slowing decreased closer to the freezing
mark. With the prospects of freezing temperatures, everyone made sure our
young campers were well bundled for the night ahead.
Saturday morning at 6AM, the thermometer provided by Tom Townsend read 32
degrees. We had prevailed the cold evening. The fire was restarted
as it had died down from the evening before. As more and more scouts and
adults woke up, things started warming up.
Breakfast was quickly here and gone as we prepared for the busy day ahead.
The scouts were assembled in the main arena for the
Opening Ceremonies and plans for the day ahead working on a host of Webelos
Activities. This continued throughout the day with a lunch break at 12
noon. The scouts were learning and at the same time having loads of fun.
Late
afternoon brought some free-time back at our campsite which featured waterfront
views by the babbling brook. Some scouts went fishing while others
whittled while some just hung out relaxing. Dinner was just a few
short hours away.
Saturday
night, Pack 28 feasted on chicken stir-fry by Chef Devon Chapin which was second
to none. There was plenty for all and than some. Hot dogs on rolls
were also served up. Bug juice was ready for the thirsty along with hot
cocoa and coffee. Marshmallows over the fire as well as freshly popped
popcorn made the evening a memorable event that the scouts and parents will not
soon forget.
The
Housatonic Council hosted a Saturday night campfire with each Pack putting on a
skit or leading a song. Pack 28, under the musical direction of Mr. Bruce
Bednarsky lead the group in a rousing medley of catchy and lively tunes which
started the multitudes and campfire really roaring.
Sunday
morning brought a close to a wonderful campout. Closing Ceremonies were
conducted with all Packs assembled while the flags were lowered and ribbons and
patched were distributed. Thoughts of what a fun time was had by all and
knowing that this will be repeated again next year came to mind. For some,
this would be their last Wild Webelos Weekend as they will move up to Boy Scouts
soon. For others, next year will make them the Senior Webelos with
experience.
And so the cycle begins again.
See you next
year.
