Day 159 - Last Day of Cubs!
Jun. 8th, 2010 10:44 pm:(( I'm so sad! No more cubs!
Closing ceremonies was not what I had imagined though. They had invited the parents so I thought the parents got to participate but they didn't. Anyway, we had the usual warm up and grand howl stuff, and then Bageera, which is our Scout Supervisor, took over and split the boys into three groups. Then he gave each group a compass and some instructions and they were suppose to use the compass to find their way. It became clear after about five minutes that if this had been the woods, the boys would have been totally lost. The compass and instructions were SUPPOSED to take them across the gym, down the hall and into the cub room. He had to help them along.
Once we got to the cub room, we had the ceremonial lighting of the campfire, I say ceremonial because our camp is inside so.. not a real fire. Boo hoo. With the lights off though it looked okay. So then he led them in some songs, they got to do their skits, and then he read stories. And then we finished with the traditional KumBaYah.
And of course there was food.
