The Bear Den took a field trip to the Athens Police Station in October. We learned about the Dispatch and we had a question and answer session in their roll call room. He told us how to stay safe and be a good citizen. All the boys were fingerprinted. We learned about all the tools the policemen wear on their belt, and what they carry in the car. Most importantly, we learned that Athens has a great police department that is here to serve us!

Cub Haunted Weekend

The pack enjoyed Cub Haunted Weekend at Camp Comer October 8-9, 2010. Fun was had by all. It was a beautiful weekend for camping. The boys participated in BB shooting, archery, haunted grove, hayride and more. This is definitely one campout to stay on the calendar.

Webelos bridge to Boy Scouts

This free photo slideshow created with Smilebox

The Webelos celebrated their bridging ceremony into Troop 21 on May 24, 2010 at Big Spring Park. Bridging is an important transition from the parent-led Cub Scout’s life to the boy-led Boy Scout life. It’s a defining moment when a boy becomes aware of his achievements and is ready for new adventures and responsibilities in scouting. The boys left the cub scout neckerchief behind and "bridged" to the Boy Scouts where they were presented with their new neckerchiefs. They learned the meanings of each of the aspects of the Boy Scout Law, and recited the Scout Promise. They were then dismissed and enjoyed refreshments at the pavillion as Boy Scouts!

ABS Pack 25 celebrated their 2010 Blue and Gold Banquet on April 10, 2010. We had an Olympic theme this year called "Going for the Blue and Gold."

Each Den was responsible for decorating their own table using this year's Olympic theme. The tables were judged by Chris Reno and the Webelos I Den took top honors in that competition! You can see pictures of the winning table in the slideshow above.

There was also a Father / Son Dessert Contest in which they made a yummy dessert and had to decorate it using this year's banquet theme. Chris Reno judged that competition, too. Kasey and Chase Harbin won first place in this competition. Craig and Andrew Adams won 2nd place. James and John Paul won third place. All of the yummy desserts can be seen in the slideshow above.

We enjoyed great company, great food, and great entertainment. David Fortenberry entertained us with a slideshow of all of the scouting events from this past year. Each den also entertained us with their funny skits and songs.

The scouts were also awarded for their many achievements they earned during the year. The Webelos II Den was awarded with their Arrow of Light patches. They worked hard most of the year on Cub Scout's highest honor. Congratulations to all of the scouts for all of their hard work this year.

Enjoy the slideshow!

ABS Pack 25 Trip to USS Alabama Battleship (January 15, 2010)

ABS Pack 25 took a trip to Mobile, AL on January 15, 2010 to spend the night on the USS Alabama Battleship. After boarding the ship, they chose their bunks for the night, dropped their gear, then gathered together for an evening devotional led my Mark Nave.

After the devotional, the Scouts were free to go on a night tour of the battleship. Some of the scouts even participated in a scavenger hunt.

The next morning, the scouts did not let the torrential downpour keep them from continuing their fun as they toured the rest of the Battleship Memorial Park.

Thanks to everyone who provided photos for the website. If you have not submitted photos, it is not too late. We can always add more to the slideshow if you wish to send some of your own favorite photos from the trip. Enjoy the slideshow below!
