Summer Activities

This summer, many of our scouts went to scout camp.  For some, sleeping outdoors with nothing but a canvas tent between their sleeping bag and the outdoor critters was a new experience that won't be forgotten. 

Our Wolves, Bears, and 1st-year Webelos went to Camp Akela.



While our 2nd-year Webelos attended Camp Navajo, which is part of the Boy Scouts' Tomahawk Scout Reservation.

Polar Cubs 2011

The weather warmed up just long enough this weekend for Pack 66 to attend Polar Cubs at Camp Philippo, and we had a great time.  There was snow tubing, snow balls, snow hockey, snow tunneling, and tracking the elusive Minnesota Yeti.
