Navigator News GEOCACHING 101 with the Navigators
The NOVES NaviGATORS visited a lovely local state park in Lorton, VA called Mason Neck State Park and earned their Geocaching Badge! 5 scouts, 2 leaders and 1 pampered pooch participated in a free Geocaching class and expedition. GPS devices were provided and 2 informative State Park Interpreters took us on a long hike thru the park. We found 3 Geocaches, signed the log book, and exchanged some trinkets. It was like modern day treasure hunting! This is a fun way to get outside and enjoy nature! If you would like to learn more about Geocaching, please visit this website for an informative video and links to an extensive FAQ section! Find your own buried treasure today! | Sunday School Happenings Meet your Teaching TEAM! The first 2 Sundays of NOVES Sunday School is off to a great start! On the first Sunday back, the teachers and children got to know each other better by collaborating on a puzzle mural that will be displayed soon at platforms and festivals. The second Sunday was the first official day of classes. Holidays and Holy Days students made a Jonah and the Whale craft and learned about the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Comparative Religion students received an overview of theism and its many forms. They also talked about the chronology of religion and kicked off the study of the Abrahamic religions. A tour of a Jewish synagogue in October is being planned to coordinate with their studies. Its not to late to join in the fun and we hope to see your family on Sunday! |
