Hundreds of boys, aged 7-10, converged on Horn Rapids Park to learn good moral lessons and how to enjoy the great outdoors.
- Cub Scout Day Camp Group
This was the annual Cub-Scout Day Camp. Dozens of volunteer organizers put in hundreds of hours of time preparing for the event. The boys rotated between different stations throughout the week.
Orienting a Topographical Map
They covered activities like wood burning, outdoor cooking, maps & compasses, archery, bb guns, citizenship & government and, of course HIKING!
Citizenship for Cub Scouts
The Cub Scouts also got to go on a hike along the trails at the park. Volunteer leaders worked gathering hundreds of hiking poles for the boys.

Each boy also got a camp t-shirt and cool straw cowboy hat. I found a nice swallowtail butterfly that was willing to let me take a picture!

Thanks to all the volunteers and parents who helped make this possible. I was the camp nurse for a couple of days and bandaged a few minor cuts and burns but otherwise it was a fun week for over 200 Cub Scouts.
