Pack Night for our Cubs

Tuesday night was pack night for our Cub Scouts and what fun we had. We started out with not one but two graduation/Arrow of Light ceremonies. It was awesome to see Nathan Gerdes and Zach Jensen accomplish so much and be an example to the younger cub scouts.Zach Jensen and Nathan Gerdes with their graduation skins.

We then had a kite derby where we made paper bag kites, grocery bag parachutes, Bowman's were there to talk a little about "real" kite flying AND don't forget the homemade root beer floats. Yum yum!!

I wish my camera could take good night pictures because it was wonderful to see all the kids running around with their kites, and actually getting them in the air (the one night we actually wanted a breeze in Salem and there wasn't a wisp of one) . The sun was just setting and you could see the kites up against the red sky. What fun!

Our ward also earned the Summer time pack award which is a national award given by the scouting program. We held pack meetings all summer long and had great attendance. Yeah for us!!!
