A Look at Autism (11-10-07)

This week, the boys took a tour of the Carmen B. Pingree School for Children With Autism.
While there, they learned about what Autism is, how the school functions and how Autism affects their fellow scout, V.Z.


Take a look!





Here's our host, Ms. Robin!
She was nice enough to teach the Scouts and lead the tour.
Thanks to her instruction and years of experience, the boys are a lot more savvy about Autism and how it affects other people.

She definitely gets a big "THANK YOU!"


While there, the Den got to see how the classrooms were set up and they even got to practice their American Sign Language by reciting the Law of the Pack and the Cub Scout Motto!






Once the tour was over, the Cubs were treated to a session at the Pingree playground!

The tire swing was by far, the MVP!








But that doesn't mean the boys didn't enjoy the other stuff, too.








Hey!
Who's that standing next to M.G.P?

That's our newest Cub, M.S!
He comes to us all the way from Kansas.
Welcome aboard!






Yep, the boys had a lot of fun.
And in our usual stealthy way, the fun they experienced was layered with learning and knowledge that they'll hopefully carry for the rest of their lives!

Good work, Guys!
