Cub World 2009

This past weekend I attended Cub World 2009 with my son and his Cub Scout troop. The camp offers three separate “sleeping villages” for the boys: Tee Pee Village, Box Cars, and The Fort. We were assigned to the fort, which was my son’s preference. We had an enjoyable weekend participating in many activities: archery, BB guns, slingshots, whittling, logging, blacksmithing, leather working, animal tacking, plant identification, cooking, various craft projects, singing camp songs, and watching/performing skits around the campfire. It brought back a flood of memories from camps I attended when I was young. It was a very hot weekend, and it was a challenge to keep all the boys hydrated and sun blocked. We were able to cool off by enjoying the dual lane 100ft+ slip ‘n slide called “The Log Run”.

Over all it was an enjoyable weekend. My son benefited from all the activities and made good growth improvements while we were there. As well as earning a dozen or more merit badges. I benefited from becoming more patient, and becoming a better leader. I look forward to next year when we attend Gilbert Ranch.
