Camping at Camp Yaw Paw
The weekend of March 29th through the 31st, Pack 27 Webelos joined the Boy Scouts of Troop 27 for some Spring camping at Camp Yaw Paw. We enjoyed great weather - the rain held off, and went fishing at Cannonball Lake and an afternoon hike up to Bear Swamp Lake. The Boy Scouts cooked for the group and we had plenty of food including S'more's by the Saturday night campfire! The Scouts even put on a skit for entertainment, and work towards their Communication's Merit Badge.  The band of Scouts!  Fishing or drowning bait?      |

Building Pack Skills
The boys of Pack 27 recently had Den and Pack meetings to cover essential skills from their Cub Scout books. Den sessions included learning about snakes and what to do in case of a snake bite. They also worked to identify various animal tracks (something they may use as we get snow). Later in the Pack meeting they learned about knot tying and rope skills. Lastly the boys assisted in building and taking down a four person tent.   |
