 We want to WELCOME our new Assistant Scoutmaster, Cubmaster, and Wolf Den Leader! Thanks for sharing the exciting Scouting program with us.

UPCOMING EVENTS

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE THE 11-YEAR-OLD CAMP AT CAMP HUNT coming up on June 11-12.  If you have not told me that you that you want to go, please call me asap. We are going to finish registering this week. It is going to be a great overnighter.

Those of you in Troop 684 or 614, the ward is paying for your fees of $30.00 for participation. More information will be coming.

BIKE THE BEAR IS the second weekend in August 13-14. Please mark it on your calendar now. This is also an overnight event. Everyone age 8-18 is invited.  The Cubs will only be there on Saturday, the 14th. Fathers and parents are always welcome.  We will need help to have everyone attend.






JAMBORAL WAS FABULOUS

We had 35 Cubs, Scouts, Leaders, and Fathers attend the Jamboral on May 14-15th in Ogden, Utah. It was great fun. Some of the activities they attended were: Scuba Diving; Climbing the wall; BMX racing-actually participating on the track; Shooting range; Archery; Monkey Rope climb; and Scales and Tails where they saw a yellow snake that was so long that it took 8 scouts to hold it...obviously, due to my lack of enthusiasm in holding ANY snake, I did not attend that event!

The scouts saw a Magician on Friday night and there were fireworks. 

They had one building where you could view the history of Scouting and see old uniforms and displays. In another building, there were booths where the boys participating in Regatta Boat races, Pinewood Derby races, and they saw an amazing booth with creations made from Legos. 

It was a great activity. Special thanks to all the fathers, leaders, and organizers of the event. It was GREAT! We are very glad we had such great participation from Pack/Troop 684, 614, and 647. We also appreciate the Bear Lake District and the Council for giving us this opportunity.

THANK YOU!!
