Mohican Adventures, and Leader Training

Granville Super Pack 3 had a great Family Weekend, with Troop 65 supporting our Webelos IIs as they prepare for crossover this March -- 154 people in over 60 watercraft meandered down 7 miles of the Mohican River; Friday night some 35 families with well over 100 campers stayed at the "Large Group Campground" of Mohican State Park, and 50+ were in residence for Saturday night's space shuttle flyover and a last night under tentage.

That's an awesome weekend no matter how you count it -- many thanks to Ed Shuttleworth for Saturday lunch at the riverside, Marc Monnin for Saturday dinner up at the campsite, Cubmaster Al for the Webelos activities (while yours truly took the Second Class Boy Scouts out for a plant/tree hike for their First Class requirements), and Jim Spichiger for early arrangements.

To our newer pack and den leaders: if you are interested in pursing further training as a Cub Scout leader, right here in Granville is a training opportunity from Licking District of Simon Kenton Council/BSA . . . copied from the district e-mail --
