This week began Cub Scout Day Camp. Every day from about 2:30-8:30 pm, Lucas and Ethan are campers, Jacob is a red shirt (Boy Scout volunteer) and I am Walking Den Leader. Sarah went to the Tot Lot and volunteered there helping with younger tots.
The camp is themed around "Saluting Our Nation's Heroes" and Day One was about firefighters. The boys made fireman's hats and sprayed water at a plywood house facade with a garden hose to "put out" an imaginary fire.
Here's Lucas with another Ethan N. that will be in his Tiger Den in the fall.
Red Shirt Jacob.
Visit from the Flower Mound Fire Department.
Learning how to build different types of fires. This one is called a teepee, but they also learned lean-to and log cabin techniques. They never lit anything but did talk about fire safety.
It is HOT. So the boys are encouraged to drink lots of water and douse themselves every chance they get. We also shoot BB guns and practice archery.
