dedkad 127 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have a message in to the Council, but I'm wondering if Cubs Scouts are allowed to participate in the Shoot O Rama's. What about Webelos? In order to earn our AOL, my Webelos have to do an outdoor activity with a Boy Scout troop. I thought the Shoot O Rama would be perfect for that. Link to post Share on other sites
