Cubs Scout Out Fun With MOS Trip!


What do you get when you mix 300 cub scouts, a late night electric show and a dinosaur with a red and white striped scarf? You get the Camp-In at the Museum of Science. Pack 78 along with a number of other Packs from Massachusetts attended the annual Camp-In event on February 9 and 10. Even though the T-Rex didn’t come to life after the lights went out all the boys had a fun and exciting evening. We became “Pirates O’ Science” and made discoveries by attending workshops, watching live animal shows and exploring as many exhibit halls as we could until the late night hours. The Pack finished their explorations Friday night with “shocking” lightning show. Our group even slept in the Theater of Electricity, which fortunately was not a hair-raising experience.

We woke early Saturday morning to breakfast and finished our museum trip with more exploring which included a planetarium show (we really liked the comfy chairs after a night sleeping on the floor) and finished with a movie about Jane Goodall in the Omni Theater. Everyone had a great time and we all went home a little tired but also little bit smarter.


Many thanks to Sharon Lloyd for acting as laiason for the Pack 78, as well as for the whole Knox Trail Council!
