Cub Scouts


Joshua and Thomas both joined Cub Scouts this year. They were very excited to get their uniform and get started. The first thing we had to do was sell popcorn! That wasn't too fun for me, but they loved it. Each boy has to sell $200 worth of popcorn, so we had $400 to sell. They did it though. You should all be thankful...it would have been red bows around boxes of microwave popcorn for everyone come December if they didn't sell it all!!

The first pack meeting was last Thursday, and they built a "raingutter regatta". This is basically a single hull sailboat out of balsa wood that they raced in a raingutter by blowing in the sail. Neither Thomas nor Joshua won their heat, but they got some great ideas for next years race.
