Cub Scout Back Pack

Date: 
Wednesday, November 9, 2016 - 18:00

Den Meeting in the Elementary Art Room in which we'll be preparing a backpack with some of the essential items for cub scouts.

Purpose of this meeting

Scouts learn about what to have in a back pack for a hike. They'll be making small first aid kits and showing what we have in our back packs. We'll have some small containers, flashlights and peanut bars for anyone that needs them.

What the Cub Scouts are to bring

  • A back pack
