Boy Scout Webelos: Castaway

Will you be prepared to go “off the grid” in case of a wilderness emergency? What is the most important thing to consider when lost in the woods? Learn about survival kits, fire-building, signaling, how to build a survival shelter, and how to treat water so it’s safe to drink. You’ll spend time learning real-life survival skills to keep you and your group safe in case of an emergency. To accommodate for our current Covid-19 precautions, some portions of this program will be done virtually from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Our in-person, entirely outside (rain or shine) portion of the program will meet in front of the nature center. Social distancing and face coverings are required.
