Bobbing with Cubbies

Climbing the Walls

Cub Scout Pack 321 invited the Troop to climb some walls and go swimming with them at NMU's PEIF, and the Troop gratefully accepted. Parents brought snacks, a few cameras, and a lot of encouragement.

They boys had a great time climbing and snacking for an hour before racing off to the pool.

Things got interesting in the pool. Promotions to Second Class and to First Class require some basic water safety and rescue skills. Robert provided the instruction, the PEIF provided a life saving ring, and the boys took turns tossing the ring and getting rescued. Several of the Cubs got involved just for fun, too.

Without a waterproof camera, though, you'll just have to use your imaginations. However, you'll find an album of rockwall climbing by following the link.

Drug Abuse Prevention

Body Armor - Just Like in the Video Games!

Promotion to Second Class requires participation in an anti-drug, tobacco, and alcohol program. Fortunately, we have a State Police post right down the road!

The Troopers were wonderfully informative and fielded everyone's questions. Even the adults learned a few things.

By far, though, the trip's highlight consisted of a trip to the garage where the boys got to see a lot of really nice gear - and give a couple of robots a spin.

Thank you Michigan State Police!
