Cub Scout Day Camp

This weekend was Carter's 1st Cub Scout Day Camp.  Matt and Carter stayed the night Thursday because they had set up Brother Stoddard's Teepee and many of the other stations and needed someone to stay there for safety.  They slept in the teepee and had a really fun time.  Carter stayed up really late catching grasshoppers with his friend Tyler Landon.  Tyler's dad, Josh, is one of Carter's Wolf Leaders. 

Friday morning came and the Pioneer Adventures began.  There were many activities to keep these boys entertained.  The pictures tell the adventures...

Candle Making

Lots of fun pioneer games.

The Stick Pull

Gunny Sack Races

This is Carter's Wolf Pack joined with another Pack.

This was Leather-Working in the Teepee!

Then a little B-B Gun Shooting.

Carter is quite the little sharp-shooter!

Banana Boats!  Carter loved this yummy snack!

Saturday brought a whole new day of fun activities.  Matt taught a class on woodworking and the boys made birdhouses.  Carter said this class was his "favorite" part because he got to work with his dad!

Saturday afternoon, families were invited to come and watch the boys perform their skits.  We may be partial, but we thought our Wolf Pack had the best skit.  They were dressed up like raisins in black garbage bags and they sang a little song about being raisins.  They were quite animated and had a fun time.

Here is a group picture of most of the Cub Scouts at the end of the day and weekend! 

They had a great time!

Carter came home both nights with a permanent smile on his face.  I asked him if he liked scouts and his eyes lit up and he shook his head yes.  He didn't look like he could be any more fulfilled!  He has definately found a passion in scouting!  It is in his blood lineage on both sides!  He can't wait until next year!
