Cub Scout Pack 49 - Summit

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

As Scouts, we reflect on the values of courage, service, and sacrifice, and we are grateful for those who protected the freedoms we enjoy every day.

We hope everyone has a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we take time to remember our fallen heroes.

Yesterday’s day camp at Ottawa Lake Recreation Area was a huge success! Scouts spent the day outdoors exploring, learning new skills, and having fun together.

We started with a 2-mile hike to Scuppernong Springs Nature Trail, followed by a make-your-own trail mix snack after the long hike in the heat. Then we went fishing and learned how to use a compass by following directions to find a hidden duck. We also played water balloon toss and “fill the bucket” games to cool off and created tic-tac-toe boards and pieces using rocks and wood slices.

For dinner and dessert, the Scouts helped make bubble pizza and peach cobbler in Dutch ovens, plus homemade ice cream in a bag. It was a full day of adventure, teamwork, creativity, and great memories! We couldn’t have asked for better weather.
