Some of the fun activities include fire building, first aid, land navigation, dutch oven cook off for Scouts and Adults, blindfolded shelter building and an obstacle course to name a few. Adults in attendance must be registered with their troop and have completed Youth Protection Training. Awards will be given for the best Scout Patrol as well as the best Adult Patrol.
Cub Scout Recognized After Rescuing Drowning Toddlers
When one Cub Scout visited his local swim club last summer, he didn’t expect to leave the pool a life-saver. Yet when the Scout spotted two toddlers drowning in the deep end, he sprung into action and rescued the pair in the blink of an eye.
Robert R. of the Cradle of Liberty Council was at the Winchester Swim Club when he saw a 3-year-old and 4-year-old brother and sister drowning in the 12-foot diving area of the pool with deflated floaties. Even before the lifeguard on duty had time to act, the Cub Scout grabbed the toddlers and swam them to shallow water. Robert was only 7 years old at the time.
Now 8, Robert was honored for his extraordinary heroism by receiving the BSA’s Medal of Merit award. The honor is given to those in Scouting who perform some outstanding act of service of a rare character that reflects an uncommon degree of concern for the well-being of others. Read More.....
