Cub Scout Yo-Yo Day was a huge success!
|
|
|
MISSION PEAK DISTRICT CUB SCOUT YO-YO DAY
Over 80 young Cub Scouts and around 10 yo-yo performers gathered together at the Lake Elizabeth Park for one reason: Enjoying the art of yo-yoing!
|
Thanks to the San Francisco Spindox Yo-Yo club and Duncan Yo-Yos, the Mission Peak District was able to put together this amazing event for all scouts of all ages to come out and have a great time with this nostalgic game. Thanks to them, great yo-yo starter kits were also available for interested scouts that were equipped with official Duncan yo-yos and trick book so that the scouts could have everything they needed to be able to work on their Yo-Yo elective.
|
The Palms Pavilion was set-up into little requirement stations where the cub scouts would walk to and focus on achieving that task before heading to the next one. Several dozens of pins and beltloops were passed out to the scouts that finished their requirements and turned them into the registration booth.
|
The icing on the cake was the performance that the yo-yo club put together for the scouts. All of the little kids sat down on the grass and the professionals performed amazing tricks and stunts, so amazing that you could have heard a pin drop.
|
We are hoping to be able to put something like this together again for the next year. For any additional questions, feel free to reach out to the organizer at EvelynMarieLittle@gmail.com
