Thus began the Pinewood Derby, an annual Cub Scout event where boys and their dads desperately try to find a friend with a band saw so they can take a block of wood and turn it into a fun racer. This years race featured all kinds of interesting designs and we had some really close races.

Congratulations go out to Luke for having the fastest car in Pack 224. He will go on to represent us and we know he’ll do great!

You can see how much fun below!

We had a wonderful turnout at Strike Zone. Mr. Lee, the manager held a mini clinic for the boys and taught them how to aim for the arrows. He also showed them how to mark their spots and approach the foul line. After the boys ran through the line a couple times, Mr. Lee raised the gutter guards and the Cubs split into their dens to roll two games. All the boys that attended earned the bowling belt loop.

Just as we were finished with that Capt Tony (a former Boy Scout himself) and two other fireman returned to the station and we got tours of the fire truck and medical rescue truck. The kids even got to shoot a hose! Definitely an experience that will not be forgotten. Special thanks to Mr, Bruce for the video.

We had 15 new Cub Scouts and 8 returning from last year. We now have a nice distribution of boys for each den level. The meeting included a game of giant Jenga,  an explanation of the flag ceremony and some of the requirements for each Den. In addition, Mr. Bruce, an experienced Cub leader whose children have grown has volunteered to help with the pack.

Looks like it’s going to be a great year!

Our last two meetings were prefect examples of this. The boys completed several more steps towards obtaining their ranks and earned  more belt loops, all while having lots of fun. They learned about geography, astronomy, photography and ultimate frisbee. They learned to twist balloon swords and brushed up on the cub scouts basics (the promise, the oath, etc) while popping balloons by sitting on them.  What could be better than that?
