    Webelos and Arrow of Light scouts are welcome to attend the Withlacoochee District Aiming for the Arrow, American Heritage. Cubs will learn some new scout skills, take time to remember our American Heritage, all while working in a patrol method setting. By working on these skills they will gather new skills for their Webelos and Arrow of Light ranks. This will give them an insight of the scouting traditions to be successful in Scouts BSA. The Cub Scouts will be taught the patrol method and will be using this skill through out the day within the activities. The Cub Scouts will experience different activities for first-aid and other outdoor camping experiences. This camping experience is for Webelos and Arrow of Light scouts only.
