The boys had loaded their trailer Saturday morning so we were off!
Where is the Stag flag?
Just before the I-80 interchange on I-84 the trailer door opened letting Stan's diabetic supplies spray across the freeway. We pulled over and got that cleaned up and his parent's met us and brought up new supplies.
Monday: We checked in - did swim checks (All boys passed swim check; only 1 boy didn't make swimmer); We set up camp and started Environmental Science. Our meals were at the Camp Kitchen so we ate well and had fun competing against the other troops for the right to get in line first.
Tuesday: We finished Environmental Science (except for our camp observations) and those who were already 1st Class Scouts went to the rifle range and all the others went to 1st Class.
Wednesday: We all went to Woodcarving and Archery and learned how to play MOUNTAIN CRICKET!! This game was the highlight of the camp. We missed the Scout Falls hike (Sorry, Stan!) but had fun with the Father Son Mt.Cricket tourney.
Thursday: Those who had First Aid went to Leatherwork and Metalwork, and the rest earned First Aid. After lunch Rifle Shooting occured again and those who didn't went to leatherwork, metalwork and basketry. Basketry was much "funner" than the boys expected.
Friday: The whole troop almost earned fishing. We need to catch, clean and cook a fish. After lunch we went to the camp wide games, but decided Mt.Cricket was way more fun. That evening several boys played at the waterfront during free time.
Friday night at the closing campfire the boys were given the Camp Spirit Staff along with the Honor Troop 3-Bar award! These boys are terrific! Both patrols did a skit at the campfire and did an excellent job. Stags did the "Invisible Bench" skit and the Hawks did the "Is It Time Yet?" skit.
Saturday: We got up and packed our gear, took down the tents and went home! It was so fun!
We will post more details and photos.
