This past April of 2015, all of our Cub Scouts celebrated Genius Night.
Each Scout was given a list of items they could use to create their own invention such as Q-tips, plastic forks, gallon-size milk, cartons, jugs, caps, buttons of any kind, standard-size paper clips, toothpicks, paper plates, paper towel empty roll, rubber bands of any kind or length,
and so many other regular items which can be used to 
create other things.

Among the ingenious inventions this year was a robot that could catch bugs while outdoors.  This robot can also clean each Scout’s room and help with chores. There were glow in the dark water bottles that were perfect for outdoor nighttime bowling, and a mail rocket launcher which could be used
to launch the mail into your home.

      This past March of 2015, all of our Scouts revved their engines as they prepared for our annual Pinewood Derby. Each year Parents work with their boys on building a car from a kit which includes a block of Pinewood. Scouts get experience in the use of hand tools, and realizing their own designs. Then on the big day we hold the race to see how fast their cars fly down the track!

       Coming up this month on Friday April 17^th is our annual Genius Night. Each Scout is given a list of items they can use to create their own invention. These can be items such as Q-tips, Plastic forks, Gallon-size milk carton jugs, including the caps, Buttons of any kind, Standard-size paper clips, Toothpicks, Paper plates, Paper towel empty roll, Rubber bands, any kind and length, in addition to many other creative things. This is an opportunity for each Scout to stand in front of the group consisting of parents and fellow Scouts to present their ideas.

       Community service: On Saturday April 18^th, we will be participating in the “Keep Rockland Beautiful: Great American Clean Up”. Each year with cleaning supplies provided by KRB, we pick an area in New City, and do our part to help clean up. Photos to follow next month!
