I am  responsible for keeping track of nights camped for our scouts, as
well as  for the adults in the troop.  We present awards at 25 nights, 50  
nights, etc.  The nights must be under the stars or in  tents.

We also allow new Scouts to include nights camped as Webelos  Scouts, but
not Cub Scouts.

I have found little in writing for this.  if your camping awards are  troop
and not BSA then counting Webelos nights may not be an issue....
 
BUT......
The nights camped as a Webelos CANNOT be counted toward rank.   Tenderfoot,
Second Class, and First Class each have a requirement that specifies  troop
camping.  
 
Tenderfoot # 2 Spend at least one night on a _patrol_
(http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Patrol)  or _troop_
(http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Troop)  campout. Sleep in a  tent you have helped pitch.
 
Cub Scouts including Webelos are not in patrols.  Boy Scouts form  patrols.
 ( A Patrol is a group of  Boy Scouts who belong to the same _troop_
