This year the boys did not go with their troop to the designated scout camp. I decided to take the same week and work on the stuff I knew they needed to help get them further along. It was a fun and busy week. Our neighbor, also a Webelos, joined us for a couple activities.
We visited the library to look at newspapers from long ago.
The earliest they had was from 1853.
We learned the paper costs 2 cents!
We made model boats.
Christian and Anthony learned to make friendship bracelets.
We took a tour of the dump. Interesting facts we did not know:
1000 acres big
Bald eagles nest there
In a few years the landfill will supply energy to the new high school
You can buy mulch there
We worked on the Good Manners belt loop/pin and the Nutrition belt loop/pin.
Christian is demonstrating his good manners by cutting his breadstick with a knife and fork!
We made catapults. This was a favorite.
They used marshmallows to catapult.
They had a contest on who could launch there marshmallow the furthest.
The backyard was covered in marshmallows.
We made para-chord bracelets.
We visited a local home that was built in the 1700's.
They thought this arbor was pretty cool along the path to the cemetery.
We made volcano's.
Impressive for 2 seconds!
We learned to tie knots and whip and fuse a rope.
Made bird-feeders.
They helped make dip, cut up veggies and chicken for dinner.
