Webelos-ree 2023

Date: October 20-22, 2023

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.
