General Information
Two registered adults (21 years of age or over) are required for all packs to attend camp. All scouts and two adult applications will need to be turned in before your camp session. Due to safety concerns, if the two registered adult requirement is not met, your pack will be asked to return home until the registered leadership requirement is met.
We will only collect the $50.00 non-refundable deposit per full-time camper at the time of registration in January. You should be prepared to provide the following information when you register for Webelos Camp:

- Regardless of the parental relationship between female youth and male adults, if a unit has 1 or more female youth attending Webelos Camp, there must be a female leader attending from the unit or they must partner with another unit to share female leadership.

- How are refunds handled?
- See Camping Resources for the refund policy.
- What do I do if an adult is registered with a Troop, not the Pack?
- Write them in on the roster list with their troop number and then just have them show proof of registration (their BSA registration card) at camp.
- What about the Adult Orientation Meetings?
- At least one adult from your unit who is camping with you this summer at Webelos camp should attend one of these meetings. The Webelos Adult’s Guide will be available for pick-up at these meetings.
- If one Scout can't go, can another go in his place?
- Yes, just let the Council Office (terri.oneal@scouting.org) know of any changes to the roster, or submit changes with the final payment (see below). There is no penalty for switching one Scout for another.
- What Health Form do I need to attend Webelos Camp?
- The Annual Health and Medical Record with parts A and B completed is the appropriate form. It can be found here: Annual Health and Medical Form.
- Does a doctor need to sign the health form?
- No. Only sections A & B need to be filled out. No doctor signature is necessary as Webelos Camp is under 72 hours.
- How are Campership monies handled?
- Submit the Campership application to the Council Service Center. Once the Campership money has been applied, it will go towards the Webelos Camp bill for the unit. Go to the Camping Resource page to print a Campership form.
- When is a final roster due?
- The final roster is due at the same time as the final payment, April 24, 2024. In the beginning of April, the Webelos Camp primary contact will receive a billing statement and the current camp roster, if there are any changes, submit the Webelos Camp Event Roster (with changes) with the final payment.
- What if I'm the only one in my unit that wants to attend Webelos Camp?
- Great! For Webelos Camp, we require 2-deep leadership per pack, but if you're the only one that wants to attend Webelos Camp, participants can be paired up with another unit attending the session you choose. Contact Larry Strickland in the Camping Department at the Council office (terri.oneal@scouting.org) and we will get you camping!
- What are the swimming requirements?
- The BSA swimmer requirements can be found in the Webelos Scout Book.
- Do the campsites have an electrical outlet nearby for my CPAP machine?
- There are electrical outlets in the Pavilion where these campers can sleep, although it is without a tent and the cot is in the open. The best idea is to run it off a battery. (We had one adult run his off a battery pack from a computer.)
- Can I use my unit account to pay for Webelos Summer Camp?
- Yes. But you will not be able to use the unit account to register for camp. You can apply funds from your unit account to the balance.
