The Charlie Duke Encounter

On Thursday, September 11 the bears went to the CBC and met Charlie Duke. Charlie Duke is an astronaut that flew in the Apollo 16 mission. There was about 100 people there and during his speech he said that he liked that the cubs were there and encouraged them to do all they could to achieve their dreams. He also told them that he was an Eagle Scout. He showed us a movie of his on the moon. The boys loved it. They were great and represented pack 180 with honor. Ask the boys to demonstrate how to get up if fell down on the moon... After he was done speaking, Charlie Duke signed his autograph on pictures that Brother Lenk gave to them.
