Cub Scout Twilight Camp

CUB CAMP

USA

This years theme was very patriotic which was so fun!

Even those "baby blue" leader t-shirts which we sported in style!

Each station represented a United States Landmark. . .

There was Water Play on Waikiki Beach. . .

and

There was bird house making in the Amish Country. . .

but. . .

I was lucky enough to go on the days when the boys got to target shoot with bb guns!

And participate in archery!

Nice Shot Buddy!

But the highlight of my 2 days spent at Twilight Camp was closing ceremonies on the 2nd day.

They had invited a member representing each branch of the military in full uniform to come and speak to the boys.

There was a Marine

an Army soldier (a crowd favorite - just look at that uniform)

A Navy Captain

and 

an Air Force Pilot!

Each one took a few minutes to talk to the boys.

The marine told about how important it is to get a good education and to value school.

The soldier told the kids how proud he was to serve this country but reminded us that there are soldiers right now fighting for our country and we need to remember them every day.

The Navy Captian told the boys that he was a cub scout when he was their age and putting on that cub scout uniform was the start of him wanting to serve the country and continue to wear a uniform.

And the Air Force Pilot talked about integrity and always giving 100% in no matter what you choose to do in life.

It was inspiring to see how the boys reacted by standing up and giving them a standing ovation as they entered the stage.

This mom was PROUD!

Proud of this country

and the people who defend and protect it.

Proud of the cub scout program and the values it instills in our young boys.

And very PROUD of this boy!
