Dakota Smith had no idea welding had anything to do with the Boy Scouts.
“I thought it was all outdoors and stuff,” the 10-year-old from Spokane said.
There was the outdoors stuff, too, as Smith and the other members of Cub Scout Pack 117 watched Cub Master David Mayfield eat a grub on behalf of his pack, as part of a survival demonstration.
Grub eating and welding were but two of the more than 150 activities offered today to participants at the Centennial Camporee at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center.
