Cub Scouts make the hot summer cool
David Beaty II Tenderfoot Scout
Over this sizzling hot summer , the Huntsville Cub Scouts stayed busy taking advantage of the sunshine . Scouting doesn ’ t stop for the summer , it is a year long program packed to the brim with fun ! I checked in with the packs in our area to find out what exciting adventures they enjoyed over the break .
Many Cubs attended Cub Scout Day Camp , a week-long camp put on by Boy Scouts of America districts to provide kids with opportunities to work on their adventures and ranks alongside Cub Scouts from all over the area . At camp , there are games , crafts , and supervised shooting sports like BB guns , slingshots , and bows and arrows . Kids grow friendships with one another during this week of jam-packed fun !
It doesn ’ t stop there ! Cub Scouts also worked toward the Summertime Activity Award . One of the requirements of this award is to participate with the pack during summer events . And boy , did the leaders make some plans ! The packs participated in Scout Day at Minute Maid Park and got to walk the field before enjoying an Astros baseball game with their families and fellow scouts . Cubs explored the STEM Novas this summer , a program developed by BSA to encourage curiosity in the fields of science , technology , engineering , and mathematics . Some packs put on craft and woodworking workshops for cubs to express their creativity through art .
Pack 98 Cubs got to learn about an actual wolf pack while visiting a wolf sanctuary and volunteering at a local wildlife rehabilitation center .
Pack 96 was privileged to revisit history at the H . E . A . R . T . S . Veterans Museum of Texas in July . The pack along with Troop 97 members had a pleasant picnic before ending the day at the Prison Museum here in Huntsville .
Pack 114 had an epic adventure at Mammoth National Monument in Waco , Texas ! There , the cubs set their eyes on the fossils of ancient creatures that once roamed these lands . After proving to be good stewards of our National Parks , these scouts were sworn in as Junior Rangers .
The packs also had a blast bowling , skating , hiking at night , and gathering at the pool to beat the heat ! This summer was so hot no wonder the cubs cooked up so much fun !
