Cub Scout Day Camp 2012

Well men, great job on putting on the Pack 279 (Kolob 9th Ward) Cub Scout Day Camp 2012. The Cub Scouts learned a lot, passed off a lot of requirements, and had a great time. You all did a fantastic job!

November Turkey Shoot

In November a few of the Teachers and Priests went to the annual Turkey shoot at the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon. There was a competition but we did not win anything although we did have a lot of fun. There was a Shotgun competition which consisted of 2 rounds of 5 chances to hit 5 clay pigeons. I believe after the first round we were 4 for 25 but improved a little on the second round to 9 for 25. We were a lot better at the .22 rifle shooting. Everyone got their own target to shoot at about 20 yards. They put an aspirin on the center and if you hit it then you could pick a candy bar. We got at least 6 or 7 candy bars on that one. They also had an extra activity which was hatchet throwing. If this was a competition Todd would have won that one. A photo album is included here of the pictures of the boys shooting their targets.

Recent Memories

Here are some photos of some of our recent activities:

Camping Trip

Over the summer a bunch of us went to some property for a campout. On the way there we had to go under a tree that had fallen over. The car could barely make it under the tree and we were a little worried we wouldn't make it back out but everything worked out great. We had a great hike and got to go on a zip line. Thank you to everyone who came. We especially appriciated having Cory with us on this trip.

Climbing with the Varsity and Venture Scouts

The Venture and Varsity scouts went rock climbing in Rock Canyon, Provo, UT.

Orienteering with the Varsity Scouts

The Varsity Scouts learned how to use a compass to navigate and how to use a compass to measure distances across a stream. Todd was the master distance measurer and was only 8 inches off! Rayden found a sweet Easter egg while Todd and Casey tested out the see-saw. Then we had a rocking good time learning how to geocache using GPS. We found two caches pretty close to the church. Casey had the eagles eyes and saw both of them first.
