The wide range of activities in this adventure will help Webelos Scouts become strong, participating citizens in their communities, their nation, and the world at large.
Takeaways
- Understanding that citizenship means helping the community, and is more than just saluting the flag.

- Providing an opportunity for the Scouts to thank public servants.
