Several of the Scouts of Webelos Den 8 (from left to right) Brady Forler, Ethan Rekeweg, Brandon Pasquale, Kaleb Antonacci, Carter Sugar, Gabe Beck, Jack Watson and Jack Donovan celebrate their victories in the chariot race under the watchful eye of their den leader, Tom Sugar.

Scouting Pack 105, a pack with the Crossroads of America Council, went above and beyond for Cub Scout recruitment this year.

Their recruitment event was originally scheduled for Tuesday, Aug.19, but due to unreasonable weather was moved to Wed. Aug. 20, at Union Elementary School.

For the first time in the pack’s history, Zionsville youth were introduced to Cub Scouting through hot air ballooning, mock Roman Chariot races and strongman semi-truck pulls.

Cubmaster, Jeremy Morin, joined forces with pack volunteers to plan this idiosyncratic event to showcase the versatility of the scouting experience.
