GOUVERNEUR – Gouverneur Cub Scout Pack #2035 hosted a multi-district event that drew over 100 people and included sled races, tug-of-war, games and other events.

The Jan. 19 event took place at Gouverneur BPO Elks Lodge. Those who attended endured temperatures that never reached above zero, according to Cubmaster Chris Gates.

Outside events included an obstacle course, 2-man sled pull race, tug of war, and a snowshoe dash. Inside events included a Nerf range, Lego build off, board games, origami rain gutter regatta, and various building systems.

Gates said handmade awards were given to each scout that participated along with a patch commemorating the event.

Scouts from Hermon, Canton, Dexter, and Fort Drum attended.

“District events are held as a means to get different cubs from other areas together for friendship and a little friendly competition,” Gates said. “Pack 2035 Plans on making this an annual event and will also be adding a summer games.”
