Feats of Strength

Our cubs competed in several relay races and feats of strength this week.

Ultimate Frisbee

Pack 901 had a fun time playing Ultimate Frisbee together this week. Afterwards we enjoyed popsicles together.

Here is a site with Ultimate Frisbee Rules.

I Scream, You Scream....

We all scream for ICE CREAM!!!!

After a fun night playing football and volleyball outside, our boys made homemade ice cream in Ziploc Baggies. The boys had fun making their own treats and enjoyed eating their yummy creations before it melted in the sweltering heat.

What you'll need:

* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1/2 cup milk or half & half
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
* 6 tablespoons rock salt
* 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)
* 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
* Ice cubes

How to make it:

1. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
2. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
3. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
4. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.
5. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!

The Cubs had a great time cooking outside together. They made pancakes, french toast, hash browns, and bacon. They roasted marshmallows for S'mores. They even roasted STARBURTS!

Pitching Tents

Our cubs learned how to pitch tents this week. Each den worked together to put up a tent and take it down and pack it away appropriately. They are now ready to go camping with their families this summer. We look forward to hearing about their fun adventures.

Hiking at Horizons

Our families went hiking at Horizons park for our pack meeting. We had a very fun and very muddy time. One child and two grown-ups actually fell down on the trail in the slippery mud. It had rained a lot that week.

Salem Lake Bike Ride

Our cubs went on a family bike ride at Salem Lake. The boys and their families had a lot of fun!
