There are two main events planned by the troop specific for Webelos scouts, including:
New Scout Cabin Campout
Klondike Derby
Make plans to attend if you are a Webelos Scout! You’ll have a great experience with the Scouts of Troop 85, join a patrol and do all sorts of things that Scouts do – cooking, hiking, exploring, pioneering and, of course, having fun!
Webelos leaders will be hearing from Troop 85 with full details and registration details.
Webelos Scouts are invited to attend any of our Troop Meetings and get to know what a scout troop is all about. We hold a New Scout Cabin Campout in early March, but Webelos Scouts can join us on other campouts as well. Your Webelos Den Leader should contact us for additional details.

Webelos Scouts who have earned the Arrow of Light Award and are at least ten years old are eligible to join a troop right away! There is no need to wait until your crossover ceremony. Completing Arrow of Light requirements also nearly qualifies you for the Scout rank, Scouting’s equivalent of Bobcat. You may register as in scout troop at any time once you earn Arrow of Light and may begin participating in troop activities and working on advancement and merit badges. You can still attend your pack and den functions and participate in crossover when your pack holds its ceremony.
You don’t need to earn you Arrow of Light Award to join the troop. If you are at least 10 years old and currently in the 5th grade, you may register on or after March 1st.
