Webelos Adventure Camp Photos
A fun time was had by four of our Webelos Scouts at Webelos Adventure Camp at Camp Royaneh. We participated in many fun activities, including swimming, hiking, archery, crafts, and BB guns. We also saw a great deal of wildlife, including deer (who visited the campsite several days), birds, lizards, and banana slugs.

Dinner Details
The pack will be providing the dinner: turkey hot dogs and beef hamburgers. If you want to bring something else for dinner you are free to do so. Just let me know so that I can take that into consideration for menu planning.
The following (current) dens were asked to bring something: Coordinate with your den leaders
- Webelos: Drinks. This could be additional water, punch, lemonade, sodas ( I have a case of water available )
- Bears: Fruit for early snacks and for breakfast the next morning (Sunday)
- Wolf: Dessert
- Tigers (both): Salads
I will set up for making Root Beer starting after the Bridging ceremony.
I will also be making a Dutch Over cobbler (maybe two) after dinner.
Jim Dalton will be bringing breakfast food: pastries, OJ, etc. There will be coffee and I will be making a Mountain Man Breakfast in my Dutch Oven (tater tots, sausage, eggs, cheese).
Bring a chair to sit on. Dress appropriately for some wind and cold.
About Dairy Glen
Parking is in the Quarry Staging Area parking lot (not near the visitor center). It is a short walk on paved trail to the Dairy Glen campground. One car at a time may be driven on the trail to the campground, so plan on unloading quickly and then turning around to go back to the parking lot. We have a number of parking passes, and additional ones may be purchased for a nominal fee.
