Cub Scout
Pack 412
Omaha, Nebraska
Soaring Eagle District
Pack 412 is based out of Omaha Nebraska and Chartered by Zion Lutheran Church. Pack 412 is a member of the Boy Scouts of America Mid-America Council. Pack Meetings are every 3rd Monday of the month at Zion Lutheran Church in Northwest Omaha (144th and Ida)
Pack
412 held its May Pack Meeting at Heron Haven. Friends of Heron Haven
near 120th and West Maple Rd, is a wonderful place to observe birds
and wildlife in their natural habitat. The trails are open from dusk
to dawn and admission is free. This wildlife sanctuary is a hidden
gem in West Omaha.
Mrs. Werthman gave the Pack a guided tour of the duck ponds and board walk explaining the wildlife that we met along the way. She showed the Cub Scouts the duckweed that the water foul eat and the markings along the boardwalk rail that the kingfisher make when they hit their fish against the wood. After our nature walk along the wooded trails Mrs. Werthman challenged the Pack to a game of Nature Bingo inside the Heron Haven lodge house.
You can find more information about Friends of Heron Haven on their website at www.heronhaven.org.
The Webelos Den had the opportunity to attend the Soaring Eagle
District Boy Scout Spring Camporee on the weekend of April 23-25.
This campout with Boy Scout Troop 412 was a requirement for their
Arrow of Light. It was also a wonderful opportunity to see about 30
other Boy Scout Troops in the Omaha area.
| The weekend was filled with many challenging events including a mini Cub-O which the Den was already familiar with from last Septembers activities. |

Cubs from Pack 412 enjoyed another great Raingutter Regatta. We
always look forward to this event in October. This year was no
different. This year more cubs went with the split hull catamaran
design.
