Wolf Cub Scouts are 8 years old when they join Pack 429 and become Bear Cub Scouts when they turn 9 years old. They work with their parents and den leaders to complete activities to earn their respective badges. When they turn 10 they become a WEBELOS Cub Scout and work mostly with their den leader to complete the requirements needed to earn their WEBELOS badge and ARROW OF LIGHT badge (the highest honor in Cub Scouts and only patch that can be worn on the Boy Scout Uniform).

Service, hotdogs, warm hearts, clean stones!

Lots has happened in scouting since last blog. The boys made candy cane candles, homemade puzzles, celebrated Christmas and New Year's with their families! and started the New Year with service.
We made our second trip to work on the Blythe Cemetery to trim the headstones that were over grown with grass and buried in goffer dirt hills and covered in yellow and brown leaves from off the mulberry trees. The trees are mostly bare now and provide little shade for the stones and their visitors. It was a warm clear day. We had a great turnout and finished the section in the middle from the VFW pole to the south building. Some of the boys even got to relax in a very large pile of leaves they had raked together!

We had a special treat provided by the Blythe Auto owners! Thanks to Bob Summers from Blythe Auto. Claire, Richard Phipps, and Jared John. Bob cooked us Hot Dogs with all the trimmings after the crew worked! Thank you Blythe Auto! Thank you goes out to the families and friends of Cub Scout Pack 429 and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Blythe Ward. We enjoyed the exercise and it felt good to serve our community!
