Cub Scouts in Skowhegan Pack 485 recently built birdhouses during their meeting.
Cubs and parents had a chance to work together on a project while teaching the Scout about safe use of woodworking tools and the importance of being kind to animals, according to a news release from Chuck Mahaleris, district chairman for the Kennebec Valley District of Scouting.
The projects were built Jan. 15 at the Centenary United Methodist Church in Skowhegan. Scouts in first grade completed requirement five of the “My Tiger Jungle” adventure.
Third graders completed requirement three in the “Baloo the Builder” adventure, and fourth and fifth graders completed the second requirement of the “Build It” elective.
