The Basics
Trail to Troop is a campout for Webelos and Arrow of Light Cub Scouts to explore what Scouting has to offer. As a Troop 54 Scout, you'll have the chance to set up a mock campsite, show off your skills, and tell them all about why Troop 54 is so great. It's your opportunity to recruit the next generation of Scouts!
For Adults, Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills (IOLS) will be offered at this campout. This is a training class that will teach adults all the Scouts skills that Scouts learn through First Class rank. Participants will eat and camp with the rest of the troop, but Saturday and Sunday morning activities will be self-contained with other IOLS participants.
