Cub Scout Pack 3370, chartered to the Deerfield School PTA, met Nov. 3 at Deerfield School. Scouts finished decorating a Christmas tree that will be donated to the Festival of Trees auction in December.

The dens also participated in a “cake bake” competition in which scouts baked a cake at home and decorated it with a Cub Scout theme. Lisa Werner was organizer of the event. The top finishers in the Wolf den were Logan Cherland, Hunter Dedloff and Alex Houston. The top finishers in the Bear den were Nathan Lassley, Jamie Braden and Josh Hess. The top finishers in the Webelos den were Mitchell McCune, Jeremy Woodhead and Blake Hocking. Tiger Scouts competed with cupcakes, and the top finishers were David Neff, Brandon Wilson and Nic Hocking. The overall winners were Nathan Lassley, first; Mitchell McCune, second; and Logan Cherland, third.

Cubmaster Rick Werner then presented the Spirit Stick to the Wolf Den in recognition of its attendance, adherence to uniform and decorum during the meeting.
