Cub Scout Day Camp

 During the middle of June, Austin went to Cub Scout Day Camp.

 I volunteered as a walking leader for the first day of camp and got to hang out with Austin and watch him participate in the various activities. Austin's favorite was fishing which I never got any pictures of. When I asked him if he was able to catch much this year he said he caught a "bass and a catfish." But you never know how accurate that is.

 Every day he got to do Archery

 And shoot BB guns

 

 I think he's improved since last year

 There was crafts

 They made Viking hats and a Norway flag

 They did Scout Skills. On this day it was learning how to set up a tent.

 Looking good.

 At the beginning and end of each day they did a flag ceremony.

 It was a really good group of boys.

 Craig also volunteered to be a walking leader for the last day of camp.

Then we all joined Austin for family night. We ate pizza then they played a some gaga ball.

 Basically you hit the ball with your hands and try to get someone else from the waist down to get them out. 

 

 It's a fun but dirty game.

 

 Even the girls jumped in to play which basically consisted of standing there trying to not get hit. But they still managed to get dirty somehow. At least my girls did...no surprise there.

 Then the scouts did a program and passed out awards

 Each den was responsible for doing a skit. Our boys choose to tell a few jokes

 And sang a song.

They ended the program with giving a final Pledge of Allegiance to an old flag. Then we stool in silence while the flag was folded up and burned. It was actually a touching moment thinking about the flag's meaning and this great country that so many have fought for and died for.
