Shac Jam

We had LOTS of cub scout fun at Shac Jam. A 100 year birthday party jamboree held for scouts in our area. The Cub world area had lots of fun activities and crafts for the whole family to enjoy which is great since not only do I have one scout but I have 3 scout wannabees and they all got to enjoy this event. In fact we counted A as a full scout (signing him up as such) getting him his own dog tags since he is only 4 months away from joining, but if we were with a school pack he would already be a wolf.

The only thing the twins who are 4 did not do with the big kids was shoot bows and arrows.....they were allowed but I knew they would not do well with the bows since sling shots were pretty difficult for them. But they had fun shooting pet food from a sling shot at a pie pan.

They made cobra horns, first aid kits, Egg racers (and raced them), paper hats, those little drum things with 2 strings that you twirl...what are the called. We made them using CDs and beads. Along with crafts they had lots of fun games with hula hoops ring toss, big earth balls, these straw flying devices they had to throw thru hoops. This picture was where you catapulted ping pong balls into holes. Jousting with noodles was a big hit as well.

Then while the big kids had their shooting range safety talk the twins and I ran their first Pinewood derby race where everyone racing got their own matchbox car. We also got to see a record setting rocket launch and watch overhead as airplanes flew for our entertainment overhead different formations and smoke trails. Twins loved that during lunch!

The kids were only sad that they could not go check out the boy scout side as well....they saw a rock wall they wanted to tackle. It was a great day of family scout fun!!
