Knights of the Round Table!!

This year all of the boys had the opportunity to attend Day Camp! The theme was Knights of the Round Table! They had 3 days packed with all kinds of fun stuff to do!

Corbin is going to tell you about all of the things they did.

Every morning we would check into our group and then head to "Camelot" for opening ceremonies and flag raising.

The first day we met our group members and leaders. And then we got started on our activities!

My favorite activities were BB Guns and Archery. I was pretty good at BB Guns but not so good at Archery. We got to decorate shields in Art! Everyone made really cool designs.

In first aide we learned the Heimlich Maneuver, treatment for shock, CPR and what needs to be in a first aide kit.

In Science we made Dragon Drool! It was really cool! It was a mix of green food coloring, cornstarch and water.

When we went fishing I baited my line, learned to cast and tried to catch a fish. I accidentally cast over others lines a few times too. It was really fun I had a great time. We learned the rules and regulations of fishing in Arizona.

We went on a hike...we spotted trees, scout forts, plants.

At lunch one day there was an awesome water balloon catapult and we tried to catch the water balloons!

I had a lot of fun and it was cool to hang out with all my friends before we moved away! I miss you all but we are having a good time in Washington!

P.S. Markus if you read this, tell Duncan and Drew I said HI!

April 28th ~ I went on a hike…

and on that hike I took…a tent, a pizza, a teddy bear, water, a sleeping bag, jewelry, a wolf, a bear, cookies, Brick’s underwear, a TV, a quad, a jeep, a bowling alley, shoes, dead people, every video game system available AND my family!
 
In January there was a Winterfest in Flagstaff. All the boys that attended received a patch!

So we had a small turnout for pack meeting this time but the boys had a good time playing “Animal Tag” and I went on a hike and took…and singing songs and receiving their patches! And of course eating watermelon too!

April 7th, 2009 ~ Geology Belt Loop

Tuesday we had a small group but we had a lot of fun!

We had a new Wolf join our group! This was Jesse Staddon’s first den meeting! We are excited to have him!

The boys earned their Geology Belt Loop and with the time we had left they finished their Achievement 1! So we had a very productive hour!

It was a nice evening so we decided to take it outside!

The boys learned about types of rocks and how they are formed and the difference between a rock and a mineral. And of course they learned what Geology is.

After taking in all that knowledge they needed to burn off some energy! Achievement 1 was the perfect way to do that! With front rolls, back rolls, falling forward rolls, jumping as high as they can, elephant walking, frog leaping, crab walking, walking a line and doing a frog stand you would have thought they’d be tired out…not a chance! They finished off the evening with follow the leader and freeze tag!

It was a fun evening! We missed the boys who didn’t make it!

See you next time!!

They also got to see how an old pack film Polaroid works. :)

Too bad it was so dark… :/

March 28th, 2009 ~ Agua Fria Ward Pinewood Derby!!

First off another change to our Pack! Charlie Young was called to be our Cubmaster! So the Pinewood Derby was his first official Pack Meeting!

We all gathered over at the Ruth St. Building in Prescott for weigh-ins and registration!  We also had two new Cub Scouts join us for the first time! Ronnie Latini just turned 8 and joined the Wolves and Tyler Miller 9, joined the Bears! We are excited to have them in our Pack!

The kids all got a little antsy in that small room so Stuart joined them in a game of Duck, Duck, Goose! to pass the time!

 

Brother Young opened the Derby with a few facts about the start of the Pinewood Derby. The kids thought it was pretty cool that boys have been doing derbies since 1953!’

Soon enough all the cars were weighed-in and we were off too the races!

It so exciting for each of the boys when they get to put their cars up on the track!
 

And watching the cars zoom down the track captivates the whole audience!
   

Watching them cross the finish line and hearing the crowd cheer!!

All of the boys had a great time! They all got a special award that pertained to the design of their car awarded by Bishop Dalton!
The standings were as follows:

1st Place ~ Brick Ellis

2nd Place ~ Seth Young

3rd Place ~ Levi Wagner

We want to congratulate all the boys on a job well done! And thank you all for showing good sportsmanship! We also want to thank everyone who help out and made the night fun for all the boys!

See you next year!! :)
