Pack 40 Cub Scouts in Quincy

Cub Scout Pack 40 has been around for many years. Just like any activity, it has its ups and downs. We currently have around 15 boys and are in a rebuilding stage. We have a good number of active parents and boys and are looking to do more as we grow and learn more about the program and get more training.

St Paul Lutheran Church here in Quincy is our Sponsor and we meet there.

Part Duex Again...Arrrrrgggggg





Arrrgggg - Part Duex!!!






So, our second day of Cub Day Camp came and went (Aug 17th). Today, we were Shooting BB Guns (with our NRA Certified Instructors), Building our Bird Houses for our Pack Fundraisers, we had a Treasure Hunt and put together Leather Coin Bags for all the Pirate Doubloons. We has had Boiled Octopus for snacks. All in all, the kids all had fun, the weather cooperated, even though the car read 107* when we got ready to leave, and the parents are all glad it is over and the kids were happy.

More Day 1 Pix






Here are some more pictures from Day one. I forgot we had a small campfire that night (Yes, it was close to 100* when we were playing with the fire), and we cooked Banana Steamboats, and sang some songs to close the night.

Arrrgggg! The Pirates R Here!!!






This year we put on our own Cub Scout Day Camp. We held the event at Twin Firs Sod Farm just outside of town (200 acres of grassy front yard). From the title, you can tell we had a Pirate theme, along with other Cub activities. On the first day (Aug 16th), we did Tie Dye T-Shirts, Shark Tooth Necklaces and some water activities with the kids. We had about 12 Scouts and 3 Sisters with us during the events. Here are some pictures of the activities on day one.
