Bob White Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Our Boatswain and I attended a Blue and Gold last night and had great fun with the Cubs. We took the jib and mainsail from one of our Star race boats and laid them out on the floor. The we used cub scouts to create the mast and hull, and taught them terminology for the main parts of a sail boat. Then they asked questions of the Boatswain for about 10 minutes. We finished by inviting them to visit us this summer for a cook out in our beach while they Sea Scouts sail some of our boats over to them to see. If you have a Sea Scout ship in your area you might consider inviting them to a pack meeting to talk to the cubs about the adventures awaiting them as they go through the program.

scottteng Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 What a fabulous idea someone came up with kudos to the pack who thought of inviting you to their Blue and Gold. Why get Bonzo the birthday party magician that you have to pay when you could have a crew of excited motivated teens come in and show the cubs what they do for fun.
