It is a good idea for them to participate in a couple of campouts with the troop before going to summer camp. Most of the troops are sponsored by a church, but the association is usually fairly loose. Most troop members are often not church members. Many have chosen a troop other than the one sponsored by their own church. Most troops meet every Monday evening.
All troops camp out once a month.
There are occasional exceptions for weather, reservation problems, etc. In this case, troops usually plan an alternate activity such as a lock-in for that month. All troops go to a Boy Scout Summer Camp for 1 week. The Webelos Den Leader should contact the troops ahead of time and schedule the visits for your den. Remember that other packs will be doing the same and some troops may limit the number of visitors at each meeting.
