Village Cub Scouts Enjoy Annual Peterloon Campout

By Mandy Rohal

Mariemont Scouts Pack 1 enjoyed a picture-perfect weekend at a camping event called Peterloon, Oct 4-5. Peterloon is the Dan Beard Council’s large-scale bi-annual encampment for Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA members. This event attracts over 6,500 participants, visitors, and staff to Camp Friedlander & Cub World.

A number of outdoor activities were offered such as rock climbing, archery, hiking, yard games, and even a silent disco! The weekend focuses on Leadership in Action, which emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and cooperation, and how these essential skills can be used to impact the world positively.
