Resources for Our Cub Scouting Activities

Carnegie Center Overnighters

• Carnegie Science Center, Pittsburgh, PA
• Specifically, the overnighter program, including hints, instructions and directions

My notes:

• Most kids didn't wear uniforms
• Dads slept in sweat pants, or didn't change.
• Most kids didn't change clothes for bed.

• Be sure to bring backpack for Dad, Cups, Canteens, Playing Cards
• Didn't use beach shoes
• Be sure to close tent every day due to sudden rains.

Notes:

1. The houses have dryers, tv's and video players, wood stoves and complete kitchens.
2.  Some dads brought evening snacks and videos for the kids to watch late in the evening.
3. About 22 people per house (10 cots in the large basement room, about 6 in the other basement room).
4. To get one of the bedrooms - register as soon as the program is announced.
5. Extra showers are in the main events center - a short walk down the road.
6. Bring your snow tube and sled (if snow)
7. Be prepared for lots of outdoor activities and lots of walking between them.
8. Activities include (depending on the weather):
   • Bb guns to target shoot

   • Snowshoeing
