Cub Scout Day Camp



The first week of summer was Cub Scout day camp for Dallin. It was his third year, and he loved it!!


It was a smaller group than usual because they didn't have enough volunteers. They held it in the field behind our church again, which is really convenient for us - it's very close.

He was in the oldest den, and he said he loved having some extra priveleges - like extra snacks and such. His den leader (the same one he had last year) told me they were just a really great den - they all listened well the whole time. 

We stayed a little bit after we dropped him off one day and watched the morning flag ceremony. This was the first time in many years that I didn't volunteer. I actually missed it, so maybe I'll do it again next year.

It was a knight/dragon theme this year - they were the "cubs of the round table," and his den was the dragon slayers.

I loved how organized it was, and I especially liked the closing ceremony. We've been to quite a few of these things, and it is usually very hot and sunny. This year they had it in the morning before it got hot, and there was plenty of shade that time of day for the families to sit and enjoy all the skits, songs and awards.

His friend Mason was in a different den this year. The awards ceremony was short and sweet - we were home by 11:30.

As usual, Dallin didn't want the week to come to an end. It was a perfect way to kick off the summer!
