Cub Scouts learning ice rescue techniques in Canfield

CANFIELD

If you had to rescue someone on a sled trapped on thin ice, what would you do?

On Saturday, several groups of Cub Scouts became better equipped to answer that question while learning perhaps the most valuable rescue tool: working as a team.

“It was fun because people were pulling me and fun getting pulled back,” said 7-year-old Brendan Danes of Newton Falls, who’s a member of Cub Scout Pack 70 of Deerfield in Portage County.

Brendan learned basic first-aid skills during a sled-rescue demonstration, one of four activities that made up Saturday’s Cub Scout Freeze-Out 2012 gathering at Camp Stambaugh, 3712 Leffingwell Road.

The annual gathering continues from next Saturday.
