Polar Bear scouts up to fun

Scouts Sonjarai Heldman and A. J. Cannon, of Grand Coulee, and Halley Craddock, right, of Okanogan, work together on lashing together poles in an attempt to build a "Chippawah kitchen" like the one at left during last weekend's Polar Bear Camp at Summit Lake. The event brought together five Scout troops from the region. Scouts, both boys and girls, worked at earning a variety of scout badges at stations set up around the camp. Those included tasks for using a compass, first aid, building a fire, the lashing skill and even a race in homemade sleds. - Scott Hunter photo
