The occasional cloudbursts couldn’t dampen spirits at the Cub Scout Day Camp at Louise Moore Park in Easton July 14, the last day of a week-long adventure. Fortunately, it was sunny for most of the week while the nearly 100 Cub Scouts from area packs moved among various activity stations to have fun and learn.
Staffed by 60 scout leaders and volunteers, these included stations for scouting skills, science, sports, water sports, archery and BB gun marksmanship.
The South Mountain District of the Minsi Trails Council has been offering these annual events for the past 10 years at the county park. Camp director Barry Webb praised the rangers and other park employees for an “amazing” job of attending to the young scouts’ needs.
The South Mountain District encompasses the city of Bethlehem, Center Valley and Bethlehem Township. Information: minsitrails.com.
