If you missed my post on the 1st Day of our Cub Scout Mountain trip, click here. The 2nd day ended up being a little different for us. Many folks decided to go white water rafting on the Nantahala River. This is not a scout sanctioned event, so this was just an outing for any… Read More »
This past weekend we went to Birmingham for our Cub Scout Winter Trip to McWane Center. We did this back in 2012 and had such a good time. It is such a fun trip and is so easy for the leaders. As the Cubmaster’s Wife, I am so happy when there’s less work for him!… Read More »
This past cub scout pack meeting was very exciting, probably more for the adults than the kids, in that we realized what opportunity these kids were getting. Getting to hang out in the workout place of the Auburn University Gymnastics Team!
This past weekend was the Annual Cub Scout Pack Summer trip, but instead of venturing to higher ground, we braved the heat at the beach. Yes, we camped near the beach in Pensacola, Florida. Many leaders suggest it every year and every year a few other leaders are quick to nicks the idea. However, this… Read More »
My pic of the day is pics of the day, because I had several pics I wanted to post from the Blue & Gold Banquet. You can see ever more pics here. It’s amazing how a room can become so festive with lots of hard work from our great group of volunteers Alex getting his… Read More »
Thursday afternoon Alex’s Cub Scouts went to church to help make up boxes for the food pantry. Our church provides food for those that are need every Friday and they make up all the boxes on Thursdays. He enjoyed being able to help others. After that we went to the hospital because his class collected… Read More »
This year at Fall Family Camp, we enjoyed a relaxing weekend free of precipitation! See more pics here.
Saturday was Scout Day at Auburn University’s football game, which means all Scouts and Scout leaders get in free! It was an 11:20 kick off which made for another early day. Rob is in charge of giving out tickets for the Boy Scouts, so we had to be on campus at 9am. We took the… Read More »
Last Friday Alex’s Cub Scout Den met up at the Auburn University fisheries for a Den Meeting to complete the requirements for the Fishing Belt Loop. Drew caught 2 fish. And so did Alex. There were a couple pretty large fish caught. All fish were thrown back in after the hooks were removed. See more… Read More »
Tonight we were out at the soccer fields for our Cub Scout Pack Meeting. During the Summer, we’re much more laid back and try and do something fun, easy, but still something where the boys are making good use of their time. Here’s a few pics of the boys meeting requirements for the soccer belt… Read More »
Saturday we dropped Drew off at a friend’s house as he would be riding up with another player for the 3rd game of state cup. The rest of us ventured over to Columbus, GA for part of a day. It was the 2nd Annual Scout Expo. Pack 29 didn’t have a booth, but we wanted… Read More »
This past weekend we went with the cub scouts on a family trip to the McWane Center in Birmingham, Al. Such a fun place! Nearly all hands-on, very informational, just loved the place! If you ever travel to Birmingham, I recommend it. Anyway, so our family decided to get their early, so we’d have plenty… Read More »
Our den meeting tonight was really awesome. Just another reason we are so lucky to live in a college town. You really don’t realize all the resources that are available until you actually do live in a college town. One of our boy’s Dad, Dr. L, is a professor in Microbiology. We got to go… Read More »
Today we worked on Wolf Elective #13. We first went out and looked for birds. We were able to find a few birds. The boys had a hard time being quiet, which scared away the majority of the birds. After that we went inside and made the good ole standby activity; peanut butter pinecone bird… Read More »
Today Drew’s Cub Scout Den went on a field trip to a crop rotation field, which we were able to make off 15e (Visit a botanical garden or other agricultural exhibition in your area.) in his Wolf book . There they grow cotton, soy beans, and corn. This crop rotation study is 100 years old… Read More »
Today was Alex’s first Pinewood Derby that he got to participate in. He’s watched his brother do it for many years. We set the bar kind of high considering he won the Pack Race and the District Race! ooops! Who knew his car would be so good?
This afternoon was busy. First we started off at Plainsman Park for the 1st baseball game of the season. I just had my point & shoot, so I didn’t get any great pics of the game. I did however manage to get some good pics of Aubie. From there, Drew and I went his den… Read More »
Back in October we went with Pack 29 Cub Scouts to Family Camp. For those of you who don’t realize, Drew crossed over to Boy Scouts in April and Alex isn’t old enough to be in Cub Scouts. That means that Rob is a the Cubmaster while not having a son in the organization. That’s… Read More »
