Frightfest 2017

On 2017 October 15th, almost 700 cub scouts and their siblings took a haunted tour of Beaumont Scout Reservation.  As the grand finale, each youth listened to a discussion of the basics of polymer chemistry and non-newtonian fluids, then made their own batch of slime and took it home.  18 volunteers ran the sessions - with most of the sessions being lead by high school students.  A great time was had by all!

Favorite moment of the evening was when a mother was overheard saying “No, you can’t sleep with your slime because I don’t want to have to clean it out of your mattress.”
