Space: A Cub Scout Universe!

Fourteen members of ADAMS Cub Scout Pack #1576 attended the annual Goose Creek District Day Camp last week at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds.  This year's theme, "Space: A Cub Scout Universe" was well-integrated into the special activities offered by the five-day camp.

The boys (and girls!) were busy every day with science, crafts, frisbee golf, ultimate frisbee, archery, bb guns, and marbles.  Science activities included bottle rockets, mentos & soda fountains, and painting models of the planets.  At the crafts station, campers assembled and launched balsa airplanes and laced their very own leather wallets that will serve them for years to come.  The archery and bb guns stations were the most popular throughout camp, as many campers qualified to receive special patches and awards for their marksmanship.

Altogether there were over 200 campers from all over Loudoun County.  Pack #1576 campers were accompanied by three dedicated mothers who made sure the pack got to their activities on time all day, had enough to drink in the hot sun, and applied enough sunscreen throughout the day.  Luckily, the weather cooperated all week, with highs in the mid 80s everyday.  Couple that with the beautiful Loudoun County countryside, and the setting was perfect.
