WDL Mom 10 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 My Webelos I den "survived" their first winter den campout! Temps were in the mid 20's with about 3-4 inches of snow. We spent all day Saturday, Saturday evening and came home Sunday morning. We sledded, captured many flags, built mouse trap marshmellow catapults and played games all night. The kids really seemed to have fun. They also: Ran a duty roster - without complaint! Cooked on a camp stove Washed pots and pans Hauled water Went to the outdoor latrine It was good. I am tired.

sst3rd 129 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 WDL Mom, Way to go. Congratulations. I only wish our Pack would give winter camping a try. We've supported our Pack for years, but can't seem to get this current bunch camping when it's cold. Your Den is off to a great start!!!!!!!!!!!!! sst3rd Link to post Share on other sites
Cubmaster Chris 10 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Congrats on your first Winter Campout! I miss camping in the snow... Texas "Winter" camping is just not the same. :-) sst3rd- Why is the Pack resistant to camping in the Winter? Link to post Share on other sites
WDL Mom 10 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hi, This was a first winter den campout for any den in our Pack, as far as I know. Our Pack does tent camp fall and spring, but in the winter, it would only work on a den level due to the need for cabins. There is no way our Pack would have the appropriate gear to tent camp in the winter in the Midwest. The cabin we had a heater and the boys were toasty all night. I was more comfortable in the cabin and playing outside than I have been at many of the cold, windy rainy fall/spring campouts! I would encourage others to give it a shot!
