The Cub Scout Pack held their annual Easter Egg Hunt for themselves and family. The Troop assisted by stuffing all the eggs and hiding that morning at Camp Lakota. That afternoon, we had one Cub enter the District Pinewood Derby and took second place in the Webelos race!!
The pack and the Troop went to the Council Camporall which was a conservation effort at Camp Lakota. They worked together to make and place 14 track boxes so scouts could identify different animals at Lakota. The afternoon was all about clearing trails for walking and carts. They ended the day with fun activities. In May, the Troop will be putting out Veterans flags at Riverview Cemetery, help with the Post Office’s Stamp Out Hunger and doing a flag ceremony for the start of the NRA banquet.
The Pack extends a thank you to all who have helped with their pop tab collection in the barrel in the cafeteria. The tabs are recycled to help the Ronald McDonald House, which helps families with sick children in hospitals. The Pack continues to help with worn out flags by collecting them in their flag box in the south lobby by the coat rack. Both the Cub Scout and Boy Scout Troop have participated in flag retirement ceremonies to dispose of the worn out flags in an honorable manner.
The Boy Scout Troop has a busy month ahead…They participated in the Camporall Conservation, they’re helping with concessions at Auglaize Village’s for the WW II reenactment, the Settler’s encampment and the Tractor pulls. While at Auglaize Village, we hope to do a Flag Retirement at each event, come out and see! We hope to get to Pokegagon the last week of July then the following week we are back at Camp Lakota for Summer Camp!!
The Troop extends their thanks to all who have dropped off pop cans and newspapers in the garage in the south parking lot. It not only helps with their conservation project of recycling but it has also helped with the cost of their activities. Youth and adults are always welcome to attend Pack and Troop activities to learn more about our program. Any questions can be directed to Stephanie Sindel at 419-438-8268.
