- Cookout/Campfire - In late September or early October, all of the Scout troops in Lexington host a campfire at the old reservoir behind Bridge School where Webelos and parents can meet Scouts and adult leaders from across Lexington.
- Camping Trip - Each troop also schedules a special camping trip each Fall where Webelos are invited to get a taste of the type of outdoor activities involved with Scouting
- Troop Meetings - In January or February second-year Webelos are invited to an Open House meeting at each of the troops. While Webelos participate in the meeting, parents are invited to talk with troop parents about Scouting and troop activities.
- Cross-over - Several Boy Scouts will attend your cross-over to welcome you into scouting.
- First Meeting - In March you will attend your first scout meeting as a Boy Scout!
