Designed specifically for Webelos den leaders and their assistants, the Outdoor Leader Skills for Webelos Leaders course teaches outdoor-related skills through demonstration and hands-on practice. Webelos den leaders should attend this training before conducting Webelos overnight camping with the boys and parents of the den. In addition to covering basic camping skills, this training features planning campouts and finding resources.

Webelos den campouts serve to move the Webelos Scout to the next level of BSA's ever-increasing challenge in the outdoors. The Webelos overnight camping experience helps introduce the boy and his parent will be introduced to the basics of Boy Scout camping. A trained Webelos Den Leader who has completed position-specific training and Outdoor Leader Skills for Webelos Leaders should conduct these events.
