The Cub Scouts of Pack 412 recently participated in these fun activities.

Webelos Bridge and Raingutter Regatta 2008 In October the Pack had it's annual Raingutter Regatta.  This is a favorite among the Cub Scouts and this year was no different.  We had several unusual designs boat designs and some spirited competition.  We also said goodbye and good luck to several of our 2nd year Webelos who bridged over to Boy Scouts.  Scoutmaster Auch and several Boy Scouts from Troop 412 led the ceremony that "bridged" the Cub Scouts over to Boy Scouts. Photos of the October 2008 Pack meeting are available for viewing here.

Webelos Camp with Troop 412 Several Webelos from the Pack 412 joined Troop 412 at their September campout at Camp Cedars.  Some of them will be bridging over into the Troop in November.  Scouts and Webelos had a chance to do some fishing, hiking and participate in Scout Olympics at the campout.   There are photos of the September 2008 campout at Camp Cedars here.

Blue and Gold 2008 The Blue and Gold Banquet is a birthday dinner for the Cub Scouting program, held during February, the anniversary month of the Boy Scouts of America, which was organized in February 1910. It's also a time to celebrate the advancements and accomplishments of the Cub Scouts and to share a few laughs and stories with parents and Cub Scouts. Our theme this year was "Cowboys" and we had a special demonstration of horses and gear from Mindy Smith of Splatter Paint Farms. I saw a lot of parents take photos this year so we may have a few more pictures added to the gallery later. There are photos of this year's Blue and Gold available for downloading in the photo gallery here.  Pictures of last year's February 2007 Blue and Gold can be found here and here.

June 2008 Pack Campout Pack 412 enjoyed a wonderful early summer campout in June 2008 at Indian Cave State Park.  All Cub Scouts and their families were invited to a weekend of fun in the park.  The Pack visited the reconstructed mid-19th century river settlement of St. Deroin.  In the village the Cub Scouts saw how early settlers made old-time crafts such as lye soap, broom sticks, and candlesticks.  There was a working blacksmith shop with a roaring forge. Cubmaster Wurtele treated the Pack to two delicious Dutch oven treats on Saturday night.  On Sunday morning the Pack enjoyed a hearty breakfast of home made Dutch oven donuts, monkey bread and Hungry Man breakfast casserole.  Webelos Den Leader Deardoff showed the scouts how to make omelets in a bag.  There are photos of the June 2008 camp out at Indian Cave State Park in the photo gallery here.

Raingutter Regatta 2007 The Pack held the annual Raingutter Regatta at the October Pack Meeting.  Each boy builds his own boat with supervision and help from parents or other family members.   This year the wind for the sails were supplied by small hand held fans instead of the Cub Scout's breath.  Two sets of photos are available in the photo gallery here and here.  Last years photos are still in the photo gallery.

Blue and Gold 2007 The Blue and Gold Banquet for Feb 2007 had several exciting guests. JD a great radio personality from KGBI 100.7 FM entertained the Cub Scouts with some great games.  We also had a visit from a local RC club called the Omahawks. The Omahawks normally fly their remote control airplanes across the Standing Bear Lake, but tonight a few fellows were kind enough to bring some of their aircraft to snow the Cub Scouts. They even flew several of their mini helicopters around the inside of the Church! Pictures of the Feb 2007 Blue and Gold can be found here and here.

Visit to KGBI 100.7 FM Some of the Cub Scouts from Pack 412 visit local radio station KGBI 100.7 FM.  The Cubs got a chance to talk on air during the evening drive time hour. Click here to hear the sound file.  More photos can be found in the photo gallery.

Scouts in Shining Armor The theme for Pack 412's November Pack meeting was Cubs In Shining Armor.  The Cub Scouts learned about chivalry, the rules of the roundtable, making their own costumes and coat of arms. The Cubs also held a jousting tournament.  More photos can be found in the photo gallery.
