USS Alabama Battleship Trip - February 2008

Pack 25 spent Friday night, Feb. 15th, 2008 aboard the USS Alabama in Mobile, AL. They participated in a scavenger hunt that night before sleeping in bunks aboard the ship. They had to find various places on the ship such as the helm, the brig, the mess hall, etc. This was not an easy task, because they did this after sundown and it was very dark. Greg Chandler led them in a devotional before bed time. They had to rise early the next morning for breakfast at 6:30am.

On Saturday, they were free to tour the battleship and the other things in the Memorial Park such as the submarine called the USS Drum and WWII planes and helicopters. Many thanks to Eric and Melinda Roth for organizing this trip. Thanks to the parents who helped supply snacks and drinks for the children and thanks to the Dad's aboard the ship who had to take care of not only their own scout, but some extra scouts whose Dad's were not able to attend this trip.

Bat Cave Clean and Learn - August, 2008

In the late summer, over 40,000 endangered Gray Bats can be seen emerging from the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge’s Cave Springs Cave at twilight. On August 9, members of the Wheeler Refuge staff were on-site to talk about wildlife found around Cave Springs Cave including the endangered Gray Bat.

Pack 25 participated in this “Clean and Learn”. We helped pick up trash along the roadside near the Cave Springs Cave. After enjoying a little watermelon break, we heard a bat expert tell us about the endangered gray bats that lived in Cave Springs Cave. Just before dark, we watched thousands of gray bats emerge from the cave.
