During our August 24 planning meeting the Cubs and parents voted on adventures/activities/events they would like to participate in for the coming 2017-2018 Scouting session.

This feedback helps us schedule the events and design our regular meetings to help build the skills needed to have successful activities.
e.g. canoeing/kayaking
- start with dryland training on equipment and safety
- pool night learning water safety basic canoe and paddling instructions
- afternoon on the water
- day trip with overnight camp
