AUGUSTA — The Bear Den Carnival took place March 13 at the Fitzgerald-Cummings Post 2 American Legion Hall, complete with games and activities for all ages.
The annual event was hosted by the youth of Cub Scout Pack 684’s Bear Den as part of their “Grin and Bear it” elective adventure.
The Scouts had to plan the carnival, invite parents and youth from their pack and then run the program with the help of their parents, according to a news release from Chuck Mahaleris, district chairman for the Kennebec Valley District of Scouting.
Scouts from Troop 631 were also invited to help with the event. Activities included a toilet paper toss, ski ball on a homemade table, log balance challenge, air hockey using tupperware and electric tape, and corn hole.
