Troop 208 participated in the Scouting Expo held
at the Cary Towne Center on March 7, 1998. Scout Billy Fairhurst
coordinated the presentation. The troop built a catapult at the Optimist
Farm Campout that we reassembled in the Mall.
|
 |
The troop also provided materials and instructions
to create a neckerchief slide. The cub scouts were very interested in this
all day. Here we see most of the 208 Scouts helping. From left to right,
Chris Couture, Billy Fairhurst, in the foreground Aditya Devalapalli,
and Neil Link. An unidentified cub scout is looking on in the
foreground.

We started using Assistant Scoutmaster Mr. Fairhurst's
jacket as the ammunition for the catapult, but it caught our attention,
that the badges are collectors items, and we should not treat such a treasure
with disrespect. |
 |
The Catapult had a range of about 25 feet, depending
on the conditions. Here we see the troop getting it ready to fire. From
left to right, Neil Link, Chris Couture, J.D. Dove, Taylor Bussey,
and Assistant Scoutmaster Mr. Fairhurst. |
