The first big scout event of the year is one that our Council puts on for all the cub scouts in surrounding towns. This is a HUGE event every year but it is one that is tons of fun for the kids. It's called the Spook-O-Ree and it's held at Treasure Valley Scout Reservation in Rutland. (if you drive by the Black and White restaurant in Spencer, it's the second road on your left. TVSR itself will be on your left hand side just after the National Grid station) The cost is $8 per child (parents are free) and siblings are welcome to join in. This is a pre-register only event, so we need to have your name and payment in by October 11 (by 9am) so we can meet the registration deadline. Every child that attends will receive a special patch!
The event consists of many Halloween-themed stations set up around the Valley. There are games, scout building exercises, mazes, and more. Kids can go in costume as they do have "trick or treating" at every station, so they should also bring some type of bucket to put their loot in. Last year they had a pumpkin catapult, haunted maze, dart throwing (at balloons), small crafts, and more. They also have a small concession stand for anyone wishing to purchase some snacks. The directors of this event have requested that no masks be worn and NO WEAPONS be brought in.
The Spook-o-Ree runs from 3-8pm on Saturday, October 26. It is a come whenever you want event, so you certainly don't have to plan on 5 hours! Please let Ryan, our cubmaster, know if you are interested in attending or if you'd like more information at evannpd@charter.net ASAP!!
