The Great Marshmallow War

(They ate half the ammo)
By Melissa Missildine

Photo by Melissa Missildine Oakwood Cub Scout Pack 610 received a surprise present from their new District Executive over the Chisholm Trail District of the Longhorn Council, Bennett Byther. Byther brought them each their very own bow and arrow marshmallow shooter. And so, The Great Marshmallow War of 2010 was born.

There weren't any winners or losers in this war; just fun to be had by all. With safety rules like, "don't shoot anyone in the head" and good sportsmanship rules like "don't shoot anyone while they are reloading", they were off! These Scouts probably ate half of the ammo as they dodged flying marshmallows, rolled around on the ground, and got dirty. Boy did they love it! They can't wait to do it again...and again...and again!
