Webelos Sleepover Every Friday night at Watchung Day Camp For boys entering 4th or 5th grade in September Parents are welcome too!

All Webelos entering the 4th and 5th grade this fall are invited to participate in the Webelos sleepover. Instead of going home on Friday night, the Webelos set up camp and get a taste of the Boy Scout experience doing such things as:

Sleeping under the stars in a tent

Learning basic Scouting skills

Experiencing the Boy Scout patrol method

Working on a different Webelos activity badge each week

Participating in a Saturday morning advancement ceremony

We supply the program, food, and supervision.  All your Webelos has to do is bring some basic camping equipment. See the suggested list below. Be sure to have names on everything.  Parents are strongly encouraged to come up and spend the night as well! Scouts and parents need an Annual Health and Medical Form in order to participate.

Webelos Sleepover includes

• Special Webelos Sleepover T-shirt
• Dinner on Friday
• Breakfast on Saturday

Dates and Times

The Webelos Sleepover will be held every Friday night during camp. Parents may arrive any time after 4:00 pm on Friday. Departure is 9:00 am on Saturday morning.  Parents not staying overnight should pick up their son by 9:00 am. This program runs rain or shine.

Registration

The fee is $30 for Webelos and $5 for parents. Please register online.
There is a limit of 30 Scouts per week at the sleepover.  Registration closes Thursday at 3:30 pm the day before the sleepover, unless filled earlier.

9. Annual Health and Medical Form - All campers, staff, leaders, parents and volunteers attending camp must completely fill out parts "A" and "B". This form must be completed annually and forms for those under 18 need to be signed by a parent or guardian. No doctor visit or signature is necessary. Be sure to keep the original for your records and make a copy for the camp. No one can attend camp without this form. The Cub Scouts already turned in this form to attend day camp, but it is required for any parents attending the sleepover.
