Bears will earn this Elective Adventure Loop by completing the requirements with their leaders:

Medieval Times - A castle based theme experience for boys going into grades 1-5
Have you ever slept in a castle? Built a catapult or saved a damsel in distress? Have you ever dreamed of being a knight of the round table?

You will have jousting matches, shield making, and feats of skill and teamwork! Join Phil Dahlheimer as we explore the past in the castle adventure!
