Beware of Tigers… and Wolves!

What an exciting, informative, fun-filled, LOUD night!  Connor’s Tiger Cub Den went on a Go-See-It to a local nature center, Hidden Pond Nature Center, in Springfield.  Hidden Pond is known for its, well… pond… and the tadpoles, frogs, turtle, snakes, and birds that live there.  The boys received a naturalist-led tour of the nature center and the pond.
Connor touched a toad and a snake…
scooped for tadpoles, snails, and other creepy crawlies…
and had a wonderful time traipsing through the jungle woods…
He did NOT get his head stuck in a pond net!  That was another boy!  (This time).
In thanks for the awesome tour, the boys ended the evening with a VERY LOUD Tiger roar… and an even louder WOLF HOWL (in excited anticipation of their bridging to Wolves in June).  
We LOVE Cub Scouts… where boys can be BOYS…
and Moms can shake their heads in wonder together!

Sure Shot Tuesday & Wordful Wednesday: Krispy Kreme Reflections

ByJennifer McQuillan

  Even when they can’t eat the doughnuts (they contain both wheat & dairy), Krispy Kreme makes for a fun time! Where else can you stand shoulder to shoulder with your best buds and watch little dough balls as they form into doughnuts, and then wait breathlessly to see if the doughnut you saw from…

Making Memories Monday: A Camping We Will Go

ByJennifer McQuillan

Tin foil dinners cooked in the open fire, s’mores, skits and songs, sleeping under the stars… well, in tents, but after saying goodnight to a sky filled with stars….  I have such fond memories of camping with the Girl Scouts… and my Mom, who was my Girl Scout leader all the way through Scouts.  And…
