Mad Science Pack Meeting

Our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Pack Meeting this year was a mad science theme.  It was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun too! 
We had marshmallows and toothpicks on the tables for families to built things while waiting for dinner.  Everyone really enjoyed the activity and we had some great structures and ideas from the kids.
We went with our typical dinner of hot dogs, chips and water.  It is easy and cheap when you are feeding so many people.  This year we set up tables (our pack is now small enough to fit everybody in our church's gym).  I think it was nice to eat at a table again for dinner instead on a blanket on the hard gym floor.  We had a chemistry lab set up with different compounds (sauces) to experiment with on your hot dog.  Made the hot dogs go down a little easier for the adults.
After dinner, we were visited by a mad scientist and his assistant.

 

(We got Enoch's wig at Target as part of their St. Patrick's Day display.  It was a bob haircut and when he put it on he said, "It's girl hair!"  It really did look like girl hair!  We took it over to Sister Strong and she cut it for us to make it look more crazy.) 

 They did a few experiments and told some funny science jokes (that most people didn't get!).  It was such a fun thing for Enoch to participate in at his first pack meeting as a Cub Scout.  He was so excited!
It was a fun night!
Now on to the next thing in my super, crazy, busy week.
