Summer cub scout happenings

In May I was called to be the Den leader for the Wolves. That works out perfectly for me as Mason became a Wolf in July. We were able to go on some fun field trips over the summer. Mason got to go to day camp for three days and I was able to join him one of those days. 

In June we went to the Waste to Energy plant. We got to wear some really stylish hats and glasses. It was pretty neat to see how all our garbage is processed and burned. There are also large tubes filled with water that run under the large (4 story) furnace where the garbage is burned. The steam from the boiling water in the tubes is turned into energy. The whole facility is run of the energy created by the steam and the extra energy is sold to our local utility company at a cheaper rate, which (they say) those savings are then passed on to us, the customers.





Day camp:
 launching water rockets=FUN!


Using a bow and arrow=MANLY!
