As the sun began to dip, we gathered our pack together for some adorable group photos—costumes and all! Our amazing new Den Leader, Jen, rallied everyone from Lions to AOL at the table for a hands-on STEM adventure. We dove into the science behind our flying bat project: learning about gravity, drag, thrust, and aerodynamics as our bats soared and swooped through the air. With just a few simple materials—straws as launchers, yarn for tails, and plenty of tape and markers—the kids became engineers, artists, and scientists all at once. There was measuring, building, testing, and a whole lot of giggling as bats zoomed across the room. Even our Den Chief joined the fun! Big thanks to our ever-helpful unit commissioner Brandy for lending a hand and cheering everyone on. A special thanks to Martin for donating the popcorn! Next up: molding clay! The creativity soared as every scout crafted their own Frankenstein creation, from perfectly sculpted pumpkins to a delightfully lumpy orange. Thanks to Jen’s crafty magic, each air-dry clay work of art became a creative keepsake keychain—a tiny Halloween treasure to remember the night.
