Frantic Field Trips
Tiger Cubs are supposed to go on five den field trips to earn their Tiger badge. The Blue and Gold banquet is in one month, and we've gone to ... well, no field trips.
So, in the next month, we get to fit in all the trips. You know, in between the Pinewood Derby, the birthday party, and everything else.
Today we went to the Log Cabin Village in Ft. Worth. Apparently all the reenactors and cool exhibits are only there on weekdays, so today we got to see ... log cabins. It was still a fun and interesting trip. I liked the schoolhouse best:
This little village is full of mostly original buildings, though with modern maintenance; for instance, where mud would have been slathered between the chinks, the restorers used cement.
It always gives one a nice bit of perspective to see these one-room houses where people raised nine kids, doesn't it?
Then we went to the Ft. Worth Arboretum, where the kids could swing from trees. 'Cause after a little culture and perspective, you just have to swing on trees.

Good luck with the other field trips. I relally liked our visit to a local rock and roll station. We were able to record a station identification spot, that they played while were one the way home, so we could hear it in our cars.
I'm a Webelos I leader now, and with all of the other activites, it's taking forever to get through Citizen.
