Cub Scouts warm up to Freeze-Out

CANFIELD — Before moving to their next activity, numerous Cub Scouts wanted to tie up a few loose ends.

So a few dozen youngsters broke into two groups, took ordinary pieces of rope and, with the rope and wooden posts, put their knot-tying skills to the test.

The 45-minute indoor event was one of seven main activities that were part of the annual Cub Scout Freeze-Out, which began Saturday at Camp Stambaugh, 3712 Leffingwell Road. The event, sponsored by the Whispering Pines District of the Greater Western Reserve Council Boy Scouts of America, continues from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. next Saturday at the campground.

Hosting this year’s program, themed “Reaching for the Summit,” was Cub Scout Pack 184 of Austintown.
