Akela ~ Pack Meeting ~ September 24, 2008

This month the boys were to learn about animals and bring a poster with the animal and tell what they learned about it.  I think a lot of the boys forgot to tell their parents about that part! :)

Noah told us a little about Cats.

Brother Shumway talked to the boys about Akela.  They learned who Akela is and who can be Akela.  He told them about respecting and following Akela.

That was followed by a game of "Akela May I?"  Each of the boys had to take their steps in fun ways such as softball throw, elephant walk, crab walk, tiger walk, robot walk and a spin around step too!

Next we were treated to the 11 year old scouts singing "Called to Serve".

The last game of the evening was "Akela Says".  The last few kids in the game were not giving up easily and kept it going until Brother Shumway congratulate them all and ended the game!

Day Camp! August 23, 2008

Last Saturday the boys got to go to Day Camp.  They were unable to attend the district day camp earlier this year.  So the Prescott Valley Wards decided to hold their own!

They had a long day with many activities and lots of belt loops earned.
They earned their Football, Baseball, Chess, Art, Maps and Compasses loops.  And at the end of the day they had a water balloon fight and Bishop Dalton and Bishop Lau soaked the boys with super soakers.

At the Art table the boys learned about lines and shapes, perspective and size.
They used play dough to show how colors mix and make different colors.  And they each painted a water color picture.

*Just a note...you can click on the pics to see them a little bigger...

At the Maps and Compass table they were shown how to locate places on a map and a globe, how to draw maps, and how to use a compass.

They learned the rules of baseball, how to run the bases, how to catch and throw a ball, how to stop a ground ball, how to hit the ball off a T and played each other in a short game.

They learned the rules of chess, what each piece is called and what moves they make and basic strategy.  Then they paired up and played each other.

They learned the rules of football and how to pass and catch.  Followed by a game of tag football!

After all the activities the boys gathered for instructions on what was next and a short skit and song.  Sister Ellis read a story while some of the men and all the boys added the sound effects. The boys got a kick out of it and everyone enjoyed it!

Following the skit everyone got up and danced and sang to "Mother Gooneybird"!  Definitely a crowd pleaser!  Everyone gets into the fun when they sing that!

Then it was a mad dash to the soccer field for some good soaking and splashing in the water balloon fight/capture the flag!  They broke up into teams and it was on!
