Scout-a-rama is a "fair" or "theme park" for Cub and Boy Scouts.
Last year the themes were:
- MmmMmmM Good - sample scrumptious fare cooked up by our accomplished backwoods cooks.
- Pioneering Park - check out a suspension bridge, beacon tower, crow's nest, two-man catapult and more!
- Merit Badge Mania Park - Booths related to many merit badges (you won't actually complete the badges here.) For example, touch an iquana or pet a snake at the reptile booth. See teeth being drilled and filled at the dentistry booth. Learn how to change the washer and fix a leaking faucet - and more!
- High Adventure Park - learn about activities done by high adventure scout groups, such as snow skiing, water skiing, small boat sailing, surfing, kayaking, rappelling, climbing or bouldering.
- Cub World - Enjoy face painting, fish printing, panning for gold, raingutter regattas, push carts, cardboard box mazes, science projects, sports and more.
PLUS, there were commercial booths and demonstrations by the San Jose police department K-9 unit and the San Jose Fire Department. AND . . . a Pinewood Derby on a Megatrack!
Last year tickets were $5.00 for a family to attend. The ticket price included a coupon booklet with coupons for much more than $5.00 discounts froms stores such as coldstone creamery, golfland, Mel Cottons and more.
