Annual Cub Scout Day Camp Held Again At Potawatomi
Posted
Staff Report-
TIPPECANOE – Potawatomi Wildlife Park was once again the host site for an annual Cub Scout Day-Camp held this summer. Cub Scouts from packs throughout the area enjoyed the pirate-themed two-day event. The major Cub Scout event included five stations involving crafts, BB-gun, fishing, archery and an elaborate Pirate 101 obstacle course. The course included elaborate obstacles including Cub Scouts practicing their cannon techniques by shooting water balloons at a ship, enabling the boys to earn their spot on a pirate ship’s crew. Additional activities included a treasure hunt using a treasure map to search the park property for treasure chests full of prizes. Next year’s theme is Native American and plans are to incorporate Potawatomi Wildlife Park’s Native American history into the programming. Because three separate Boy Scout Councils are located within miles of the park, Cub Scout Packs in any of the nearby councils are encouraged to consider attending.
