October 2, 2008: Books! Books! Books! is the Cub Scout Theme of the month so what better way to begin the month with a trip to a Printing Shop. Prior to our trip, each of the scouts either wrote a page or drew a picture or did both. We took all the pages and had the printer make a book. Each scout received their own copy of a book titled, "Pack 189: Our First Field Trip to A to Z Printing and Mailing". The owner was very nice and showed us all the machines that he uses for printing, copying and cutting. Everyone came away with a keepsake.
