miter box. The boys built the new stand that it sits on. Pat and
Lannette Enneking and Nick Forsmann donated the money to purchase the saw.
The saw is equipped with a brake and can cut larger material. The
donation of the saw to our program is greatly appreciated from past graduates.
Without this type of help, our program would not be what it is today.

The month of November Cub Scouts theme was learning
about Indians.
The local Cub Scouts Wolf Den looked up different
Indian tribes in Idaho like Nez Perce, Blackfoot and more. Scouts learned
to do sign language and tell a story with their hands. Indian writing was
also done on fabric in place of the animal skins that the Native Americans
used. They created an Indian village and made a Wikkiup House. Scouts played
two new games, Indian leg wrestling and Tillicum. The game Tillicum is
played like rock-paper-scissors except the Indians did earth, fire and
water. Ask the boys how to play.Shown from left are Anthony Karel, Brayden
Wood, Hunter Chaffee and Drew Dinning.
