And that's not all. By the time the annual Cub Scout Day Camp ends this afternoon, Vincent and 204 other Cub Scouts of the Kapi'olani District will have traveled around the world in 48 hours.

This year's theme — "Cub Scouting Around the World" — takes Cub Scouts on a tour of Africa, China, Egypt, Greece, Japan and Mexico, where a new lesson is waiting to be explored.

The Cubs will rotate through 12 activities and lessons such as astronomy, archery, paper plane competitions, rain-gutter regatta races, gun safety and map and compass reading. Each is based on a part of the world.

Activities are being held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kahala.

"It's about getting the boys together and learning to relate to one another," James said.

Aiden Akamine, 9, was spotted at the Mexico craft station, where he and a dozen other Cubs were learning the mythology behind the "God's eye."

The boys weaved strands of colorful yarn around two sticks that formed a cross. The result was a diamond-shaped ornament with an "eye" in the middle.

In Mexico, "parents make it for their baby and add new layers until they are 5 (years old)," said Aiden, proudly displaying his orange and red "God's eye."

Like many Cub Scout parents, Aiden's mother, Susan Akamine, said she likes that the boys learn the importance of community service and helping one another. "There are some important values to be learned," she said.

Scouts are often active in community service activities and camps throughout the year.

Ten-year-old Max Weber said what he likes best about the Cub Scouts is the outdoor camping trips to Bellows, where he can swim and build campfires. But for Max's dad, Tom, events like these are more about the "quality time spent as family."
