SCOTRUN - The United Way gives money to Boy Scout troops every year. Thursday some scouts gave back to the United Way and didn't even realize it..

The Cub Scouts from pack 349 in Hellertown had a good time and helped some good causes Thursday.

Nick Shubert called it "Awesome!"

Michael Borman added, "Well it's not compared to math homework. It's much better than math homework. A lot better."

The boys earned a trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Scotrun by following the Cub Scout motto. "Always do your best."

Some gave up bad habits. Cooper Webber explained I, "don't eat my nails."

They all gave back to the community.

"By doing hard work for Cub Scouts," explained Kyle Malone.

Kyle Kalinchock added, "We went to the nursing center and gave people presents for Christmas."

"We had to pick up trash, we had to get new Cub Scouts, we had to raise money," said Borman.

They might not have realized it but this reward trip also helped them help the community.

Their day passes cost $25 each. All of the profits go to the United Way, Saint Jude's Children's Hospital and the Pocono Environmental Education Center.

It's part of Great Wolf's Community Days promotion.

Normally the only way to get into the water park is to stay overnight at the hotel so without the day passes a lot of the kids would never be able to afford to play there.

"I want to stay here forever," said Cooper Webber.

The kids couldn't stay forever but they might be able to convince their parents to buy a few more day passes. They're on sale until June 27th.
