States That Are Special to our Bear Scouts

Back in February each boy was asked to choose a State that was special to them, then bake and decorate a cake that represented that state to display at the annual Blue and Gold Banquet They were also asked to tell some fact they learned about the State they chose. The following are some of the states that were chosen by a few of our boys.

Cameron Janda chose California as his favorite State. He learned that the California Quail is the State bird, California Redwoods is the State tree and the California Poppy is the State flower. Cameron also discovered that California was admitted to the Union on September 9, 1840.

Kentucky was the State chosen by Chase Martinez. Chase chose Kentucky, because that is where he was born. Chase learned that The State bird is the Cardinal, the State tree is the Tulip Poplar Tree, and the State flower for Kentucky is the Golden Rod. Kentucky was admitted to the Union on Jun 1, 1782.
