We had a great time at the Cub Scout campout! The weather was absolutely perfect all weekend - 70's & 80's with gorgeous sunshine during the day and 60's cool for sleeping at night. We stayed both Friday and Saturday night. The boys have really enjoyed Cub Scouts this year and this campout was a wonderful "finale" event for the pack.
Throughout the campout, the boys are involved in activities to help them earn patches, pins or other achievements. They helped cook meals, did service projects, learned to fish, took hikes, learned about Leave No Trace, played soccer, did skits and songs at campfire and more. Franklin earned his whittling chip too - they practiced with plastic knives on soap, then advanced to real pocket knives on wood blocks.
On Saturday night at the campfire, they advanced in rank. Harrison went from Wolf to Bear. Franklin went from Bear to Webelo. The boys have several friends who are in both our neighborhood and their classes that are also in Scouts. Truman is looking forward to starting Tiger Cubs next year! It was a busy, but fun weekend with not a lot of down time. Other than an overpopulation of ticks, everyone had a great time! Though, we were happy to get home for naptime!
