Incoming Webelos program

A special welcome to Webelos looking for more information about Troop 260. Maybe you’ve heard about the Troop from one of our many Den Chiefs? Or have had a visit from some of our Leaders and Scouts? Or maybe you just found us on the web. However you have landed here, WELCOME!

We run 4 events: Webelos, their parents / guardians and Den Chiefs are encouraged to engage with us all by attending at least one of these.

Please also find much more information on this site about the Troop, and what we do.

  • About us – our approach to Scouting, our program, and our history
  • Photo galleries – of all our adventures
  • Our calendar – that is kept up to date and can sync onto your phone

To ensure we have enough supplies and food, please RSVP to Donna Johns at least one week prior to an event. For events that require a permission slip, please find them here. (This information as a PDF.)
