Webelos Woods
2020-11-07 08:00 - 17:00 | Baiting Hollow Scout Camp, 1774 Sound Ave, Calverton, 11933, United States
Webelos woods will be a single day event on Saturday, November 7, 2020. This will be rain or shine.
The schedule is as follows:

8:00am-10:00am – Troops arrive at Baiting Hollow Scout Camp and setup their area for their demonstration
10:00am-5:00pm – Webelos attend stations in round robin format
By 6:00pm – Troops cleanup and depart BHSC

Being this is a rain or shine event we recommend bringing a popup of some type for your area
We are only allowing a max of 10 people to attend per troop. Due to restrictions on attendance we will strictly enforce this.
There will be NO walk-ins. If someone is not registered and they show up they will not be allowed in.
COVID-19 forms must be turned in that day at check in and everyone must go through a temperature check. Masks MUST be worn at all times and can only be removed when eating or drinking.
All troop vehicles must be parked across the street at the farm as per usual routine.
Registration will be through the website and will conclude on Oct. 23. Please make sure you register all your participants on time. Due to the nature of having to make sure social distancing active, planning is much more difficult this year.
The cost of the event is still $6 per person. Even though it is a day event we still have expenses such as patches, ribbons, camp and supplies for stations.
You must provide your own lunch and a bag lunch is the best option as their will not be time to cook a meal. Webelos will continually be moving from station to station with no gap to make sure they visit every station.
Below is a list of the stations that we will be offering. Please respond back by Oct. 8 (Oct. Roundtable) with your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices for a station. Also please indicate if you would be willing to run a second station in the event we don’t get enough troops to sign up.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing we needed to eliminate some stations because of the constant need to sanitize and clean equipment. Stations such as the climbing wall and monkey bridge will not be a part of Webelos Woods this year. In addition the cooking station will be demo only and will not be serving any food. All other stations need to keep contact to a minimum and supplies should be given to the webelos to keep if possible.

We understand that this year is going to be different but we’re hoping that it will be a great day for the webelos and troops to get together and have a great scouting day. I sincerely hope that each troop will assist us and take a station. Again, if you have any questions please bring them to roundtable tomorrow night otherwise send me an email and I’ll return it on Friday. Take care.

Pine Barrens Hike
2021-04-18 10:00 - 13:30
The weather looks OK for this weekend right now. I was checking out the hike this past Saturday, and the start of the hike is in a small parking lot on the south side of 25A, just after J&R Steak house in Rocky Point, and just before the Stop and Shop. Those two shops are on the north side (left), but the parking lot is on the south side. The sign for the parking lot is set back from the road. You don’t see it until you are right on top of it, so slow down just before Stop and Shop. I’m guessing 3 to 4 hours to do the hike. The pickup point is on Whiskey Road. From the drop off point, you go a little further on 25A and make a right at the light at Rocky Point Yaphank Road. You go south on that for a couple of miles, and make a left on Whiskey Road (there is a traffic light there). The pickup point is about a mile down the road on the left hand side. You will see my truck there (dark grey Tahoe). If we get a lot of boys, we will need you to pick them up. But if we have enough cars we will transport them back to the high school. This is a long walk so please make sure the boys are wearing comfortable shoes, and have them bring something to drink.

The cost will be $10.00 per boy. Again, I will give you the exact times when we have settled on them. Please put it on your calendar for those boys that don’t have the badge.
