 We just completed a Polar Bear Day at camp for our pack. Our
activities included:

  1. Games (like Bigfoot and a animal guessing game)
  2. Fire building. Using dryer lint and Hot Sparks.
  3. Lunch. Roosting Hot Dogs over a nice big campfire.
  4. Morse code fun. I built a simple buzzer type telegraph
     set and put about 60 feet of wire between the stations.
     Cubs had to act out an animal with the other team sending
     their guess over in Morse code. It was a great no 
     winner/loser type game.
  5. Rope making. Cubs always love it!
  6. Project time. We made kites from grocery sacks.

 It all started at 10:00 am and was over by 4:00 pm. It was
 a blast!
