Cub Scout Pack 240 Vilseck, Germany joined Ansbach Cub Scout Pack 97 for a fun-filled hiking adventure at Devil’s Cave (Teufelshöhle)! Together, Scouts explored beautiful trails, practiced Scouting skills, and built new friendships along the way.
With approximately 40 participants from both Pack - including more than 10 brand-new Cub Scout recruits - the day was filled with teamwork, learning, exploration, and plenty of fun!

After the hike, families continued the adventure by enjoying local attractions, including playgrounds, observation decks, sandpits, alpine coasters, and more.
It was fantastic to see new families discovering the fun, friendship, and adventure of Cub Scouting! ⚜️
