Re: All Cubs, All Packs Events

We hold a Cub Klondike in Arapahoe District. It is a game day suited to all
Cubs. Each Pack registers to bring a game that can be played, snow or no
snow, outside in a large field. The boys circulate around from game to game
for about 2 - 21/2 hours. Hot Chocolate is served by a Troop or the OA Lodge,
and patches are handed out to a Pack representative for awarding to the boys
who participate. Some years we are cold, some not, some years are white, some
not, but it has only been canceled by the weather once, when the temp, without
wind-chill was 10 below. It was held last year with temps in the single
digits & teens, we lucked out and had no wind. The only causality was the
Activity Chair running the event. She got mild frost bite on the first 2
fingers of her right hand. (Probably from trying to get attention with the Cub
Scout Sign).
Events include Tug of War, Catapults, stilt walking, snowshoe races, tir
e
bowling, Frisbee golf, and my favorite that cooperation game where 4 - 6 boys
try to walk with the world's longest 'skis'. (Two 2X4's with rope handles
spaced along their lengths. Boys must lift with the ropes and slide the
boards forward one at a time. They can only do it if they are perfectly
coordinated.) We usually have about 15 - 20 different games and around 200
boys.
I also remember the Turtle Race. Our Tiger Group did it when Jason was
in
Tiger Cubs. (He's 12 now) The host had pre-cut them and we only had to sand,
paint & race. It was a real hit. Jason still has his turtle hanging on his
bulletin board.
