Cub Scouts Help Build Chesapeake Canoe
10 Feb
We enjoyed the video above and its accompanying Washington Post news story, HERE, and slide show, HERE, of members of a Washington, D.C. webelos den who visited the Patuxent Small Craft Center in Solomons, Maryland to learn the finer points of canoe-building
The pack, which hails from the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, helped craftsmen associated with the Calvert Marine Museum build a 16-foot Chesapeake Bay-style pirogue. The scouts learned to use boat-building tools and earned merit badges for the efforts.
The canoe they helped build will be sold in an auction to raise funds for the school the young scouts attend.
