SKOWHEGAN — Skowhegan Cubs Scouts held their annual crossover ceremony on July 2. Arrow of Light recipient LJ Easler completed all requirements in order to leave Cub Scout Pack 485 and start his new adventures in Scout Troop 485.
The program was held at Chicken Camp on River Road and included dinner (all families brought things to share), campfire and awards. There was an Arrow of Light Ceremony for Webelos Scouts and a Bobcat Light ceremony.
Kaleb Simonds and Owen Hatfield crossed to the Tiger Cub program from the Lions Program. Jameson McGinnis left the Tigers and began his journey to Wolf. Logan Simonds started his Bear program and Weston Booker crossed the bridge from Webelos to the Arrow of Light level program. Pack 485 welcomed two new Cub Scouts: Owen Perri and Hayden Rowell, who earned their Lions Honor. The Scouting program follows the school calendar so they will be working all year on these new levels of program.
Pack 485 Cub Master Shanna Brown said, “It was an amazing night. We had a barbecue, ball games the campfire and Scouts made and enjoyed s’mores.” The pack is planning another similar family outdoor event at the end of summer as a way to kick off the new Scouting year.
