Have Scouts... Will Camp....

This weekend was full of fun. Everyone got to camp excited for what was to come. Camp was set up faster than anyone expected, and we were able to get started on activities immediately after. We got our mess kits, learned about safety around camp, built rockets, and swam in the pool. Thanks to lifeguards Rudy, Trevor, and Alex, everyone passed their swim tests. Bobby and Keet were such advanced swimmers, they took their swim tests with syncronized swimming. After wrapping up the swim checks, everyone had tons of time to have fun in the pool and... under water.

Dinner of beef stew, mashed potatoes, and salad gave us all the energy we needed to participate in a campfire. The Watchmen, Cookie Monsters, Dragons, and Los Guerreros had fun performing songs, skits, and readings for the adults and siblings in the audience. Everyone left the amphitheater and went back to camp for a cracker barrel of cookies and hot chocolate. As the parents started to leave, the Scouts climbed into their tents for the night.

An earsplitting air horn woke up everyone in the campsite. After a quick breakfast of cereal and muffins, camp was packed up. With rocket launching on our minds, we worked as fast as possible.

With all the gear in the trucks, we went rocket launching. Ironically, the Flying Turd had the best flight, and the pencil couldn't get off the pad... (but it still looked cool Paul :D) Others, like the Banana, made the leaders a little nervous ☻

After getting back to the meeting spot and unloading the gear, we dispersed. Congratulations Noah for the Scoutmaster's Knot for the campout!!
