Cub Scout Olympics 2008

Vista, CA - Cub Scout Olympics was held Saturday, 16 August 2008 at the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum (AGSEM for short) on Santa Fe in Vista. It was hosted by Pack 752. Their Cubmaster, Jim Hunter was the Master of Ceremonies. Many Cub Packs from areas like Oceanside, Vista, Bonsall and Fallbrook were in attendance. From our Pack, Riley Norris, Cydne Norris (Riley's Mom) and Jack and Nancy Holt participated.

The festivities began with the Parade of Packs. The proper Olympic atmosphere was provided by the fire truck which lead the procession.

This was followed by the Torch Relay (there was plenty of smoke but no fire because the Torch was made of a Plumber's Helper filled with water and dry ice). Riley Norris got a chance to carry the torch as you can see below.

Following that the events began. The events were the Slip and Slide Long Jump, Obstacle Course, Water Balloon Shot Put, Bottle Shooting Range, Frisbee Discus Throw, and Broom Beach Ball Relay of Death.

Riley Norris received the Gold Medal in the Water Balloon Shot Put earning 6 points by making a direct hit on the head of one of the officials.
