Isley Farm

The Tiger Leader invited the den to her farm for an afternoon of fun activities.

Here they are making hobos.

Ingredients for the hobo: choice of meat (chicken, pork chop, hamburger patty), potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, carrots, cabbage, garlic powder, season salt, salt and pepper, and a little butter.

Wrap it up tight. Write your name on it. Notice Ishmael's embelishment.

And cook over the hot ashes for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.

While lunch was cooking we all went fishing.

Good thing we weren't relying on their catch for lunch, we'd have starved.

This is a very delicious campfire meal:

Dessert was a very yummy peach cobbler cooked in a dutch oven on the fire.

Den Meeting

I had my night cut out for me since both the Tigers and the Bears had big projects planned tonight.

Thank goodness I have Kelsea to help me out! She is a very good Den Mother.

The coolest part of Cub Scouts is watching the boys work so hard and accomplish big tasks.

Chili Cook-Off

We got together to watch a very important football game, compete in a chili contest, and have lots of fun.

"There's a football game on? Oh I didn't know..."

The younger guys got into the game in the last quarter.

I have to say, I don't normally sit and watch football. This game was so close! Even I had a good time actually watching it.
