Skowhegan Cub Scouts complete bird house project

SKOWHEGAN – Cub Scouts in Skowhegan Pack 485 recently built birdhouses during their meeting, giving them and their parents a chance to work together on a project while teaching the Cub Scout about safe use of woodworking tools and the importance of being kind to animals.
“It was a lot of fun,” said Cub Master Shanna Brown.
The projects were built on Jan. 15 at the Centenary United Methodist Church. Scouts in first grade completed requirement five of the My Tiger Jungle Adventure. Youth in the third grade completed requirement 3 in the Baloo the Builder Adventure and youth in fourth and fifth grades completed the second requirement of the Build It elective.
