May Cub Scout Pack Meeting

While Oscar, Mason, and I were away at the Middle School, Oscar had Zachary and Parker at Pack Meeting. They had a great time learing about habitat from a Fish and Game Wildlife Biologist. Oscar and I had picked up some free seedling trees on Arbor day a week ago and planned on passing them out at pack meeting. When Andy (biologist) heard that, he said he would bring some pots and dirt for the boys to plant them in. Andy said he wanted to teach the boys how to take care of the seedlings inside until the fall when it would be the best time to plant them outdoors. I thought that was great!

Here is Andy talking. Wow the scouts are really paying attention!
Here are the scouts planting their trees,
And here are the proud parents of a seedling pine tree with Andy their mentor. Don't they all look so happy? Oscar also challenged all the scouts that if they could keep their tree alive until this time next year, he would give them $5.00!! Wow you're on!
Oscar said Andy did a great job and everyone had a fun time.
