Meets 7:00 PM Thursdays
Shepherdsville Community Center

Halloween is a big deal for boys of Cub Scout age, so Pack 868 always throws a party complete with candy, games, and ghost stories.  Siblings are included. All the children and most of the parents come in costume.

A trailer carrying a skeleton-filled coffin and grave markers greeted guests at the door of the Community Center as they arrived.  It was impressive in the daylight and downright spooky after dark.

Cub Scouts and their siblings were able to play a host of different carnival-style games, bob for apples, and jump inside an inflatable bouncy.  Everyone enjoyed a dinner of chili, hot dogs, sodas, and cake.  And, of course, plenty of Halloween Candy!

Count Dracula (Cubmaster Frank) did an interactive story with the group.  Then, after dark, Robin Hood (Assistant Cubmaster Meek) turned out the lights, lit a single blood red candle, and told a ghost story.

Mr. Weaver (wearing Viking horns) stands behind the hearse trailer that was parked outside the door of the Community Center.
The bouncy dog was a very popular attraction.		Costumed Cub Scouts removed their shoes then lined up to for a turn.
Cubmaster Steven Frank (Count Dracula) had the group fall into formation only long enough to give a brief overview of the festivities.		Most leaders and many parents joined into the spirit of the season and donned costumes.  We had witches, vampires, and even a giant pumpkin!
Here we have a swamp creature, a GhostBuster, a gangster, a cowboy (did John Wayne ever walk around with his shirttail out?), an imperial storm trooper, a milk maiden, and the Grimm Reaper.
This group included a soldier, a giant chicken, a wrestler, an alien, another storm trooper, Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of the Mario Brothers, and a zombie vamp.
The younger set included a fairy princess, a Ninja Turtle, a puppy dog, someone in a tuxedo, a race car driver, and an angel.
The winners of the costume contest included Obi-Wan Kenobi (best overall), the swamp monster (most scary), and Raggedy Ann (most original).
