Cub Scouts do fun things with other kids! They get to wear a cool uniform, go places, and see things. They play all kinds of sports and build things, like race cars and bird houses.  Want to learn a secret code?  Want to learn about wild animals?  Go Cub Scouting!

That’s the message from The Boy Scouts of America, one of the largest Scouting organizations in the United States of America and one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, with more than 2.4 million youth participants and nearly one million adult volunteers. Founded in 1910, more than 110 million Americans have been participants in Boy Scout programs.

Cub Scout Pack 484 here in Vacaville recently visited the Peña Adobe and Mowers-Goheen Museum, where they met Armando Perez, a Native American descendant.  Armando showed the scouts how the Patwins, who resided in Solano County long before the Peñas arrived in 1841, lived in the Lagoon Valley.  The scouts ground corn on authentic mortar and pestles, and made toys from corn husks!
