Thunderbird Games XV
The
fifteenth annual Thunderbird Games was held on October 13th and 14th and
was a tremendous success! About 3,200 people attended this annual favorite
of Cub Scouts and their parents. The event was held at the Croton Point
Park. Cub Scouts participated in over thirty-five different games, watched
demonstrations and enjoyed a tremendous evening show. Over 1,500 Cubs,
leaders and parents camped overnight in the park on Saturday night. This
year’s theme was “Shiver Me Timbers” and was a great hit. This tremendous
event could not take place without the involvement of hundreds of
volunteers. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of each person
involved in making the games a great success. This year’s event chair, in
his first year in this position, was Frank Doherty. Leo Marks returned to
ensure that registration ran smoothly and Karen Boutross and her tremendous
program committee were responsible for the games and the evening show. If
you missed this weekend, put it on your calendar for next year - October
18th and 19th - Thunderbird XVI!
