“Take Flight” was the subject of a two day Cub Scout Day Camp held Friday and Saturday at Kealakehe High School.
Approximately 30 Scouts age 7-10 attended the fun filled event with an aviation theme participating in such events as the “Strategic Air Command” obstacle course, BB “Top Gun” firing range, archery target shooting, Swimming, Airplane Making, Catapult Building and Ultimate Frisbee. The highlight of the camp was a visit from a Mauna Loa Helicopter that landed on the football field at the high school. Pilots explained the controls and the mechanics behind flying the chopper and gave keiki the opportunity to sit in the cockpit and wear a headset. Friday evening culminated in dinner and a campfire where scouts performed skits and sang scouting songs and cheers. The experience was meant to build teamwork and foster sportsmanship among peers.
