Pack 115 is heading to one of Northeast Ohio's most storied spots. On Saturday, November 14, at 9:30 AM ET, we'll explore the network of trails behind Squire's Castle in North Chagrin Reservation, and our Cubmaster will share the history of the castle along the way. Families are encouraged to attend.
What to expect
What to expect
Trail exploration: Scouts will walk the trails behind the castle, with plenty of time to look around and ask questions.
A quick history lesson: Cubmaster Greg will tell the story of Squire's Castle, a stone gatehouse from the 1890s built by Feargus B. Squire for an estate that was never finished. Cleveland Metroparks acquired the property in 1925.
Fall scenery: Late-autumn woods and a landmark that looks like a fairy tale.
