Webelos get CPR Certified

November 3, 2011 by

The Webelos II’s met at Code Blue CPR on Tuesday to undergo CPR training. They all got to save a life of a mannequin while practicing the proper ways to do CPR on adults and children. They also learned how to do the Heimlich maneuver on people who are choking. Let’s hope that they never have to use these skills, but it is great to know that these young men are learning a skill that could potentially save a life. We are proud of them for taking the time to do something that is not required of them. All the boys and two leaders were officially AHA CPR certified.

Webelos rough it despite the weather to earn their badges

May 17, 2011 by

Ok, so it wasn’t roughing it too much, but despite the cold, rainy weather the Webelos spent the day working on their badges. The boys took a hike around Quincy reservoir and that night had a great campfire and tacos in a bag for dinner.  Don’t knock it till you try it!!! Dinner was followed up with the traditional s’mores.  The Den leader managed to find some HUGE marshmallows, a big Hershey bar and Reese’s peanut butter cups with so much sugar we couldn’t get them to sit hence the somewhat blurry pictures. We also sang campfire songs and played games.
