Troop 60 taught advanced knife skills and advanced fire starting skills to Webelos at the 2023 Webelos-ree. Hundreds of Webelos headed home with all kinds of new interest in Scouts BSA.
Starting a fire was a challenge since all of our wood was soaking wet.
After working on this fire for a good long time, we finally got an ember going and got the tinder pile to ignite using a Fire Taco.
