Shelters

By -

This meeting was about shelter building.  There were a few different types of shelters.  They were all a lot like each other.  There was a lean to, a one man shelter, and an expedient shelter.  Then we played ultimate football.

  The week of June 19 our troop went to Summer Camp at Camp Friedlander! Everybody had fun working on rank advancement and earning Merit Badges! Loads of scouts showed up to earn Merit Badges and have tons of fun.   We arrived midday June 19th to a huge summer camp with campsites all over. From where we arrived, we walked all across camp to arrive at our campsite. After dinner on the first day, we all came right back to our campsite to prepare our cots for our bed or set up hammocks. Then, we went to the opening campfire, which was an absolute blast with all the skits performed. Some people put their hammocks stacked together to make a hammock stack of six hammocks.  Some called the stack Hammock City.   When we all woke up on Monday, we got ready to go to breakfast and start our Merit Badges. Some scouts’ classes were all the way across camp and gave them tons of exercise every day. After all the classes the scouts would return to camp and then eat dinner. Dinne...

  This past weekend we had the tobogganing campout to Pokagon State Park in Northern Indiana.   Seven Scouts and 3 adults showed up.   We had a super fun time going tobogganing, but not so much carrying the toboggans back up.   But it was still fun!     Since the river by our campsite was frozen, we went on it.  We were probably on the ice for 2 to 3 hours playing and breaking tons of ice.  It was not too cold, but it was cold enough for eggs to freeze on the stove.  Some of us got a little wet on the ice, but we were prepared and able to fix that. We slept on semi comfortable beds, with some snoring and other strange noises coming from unidentified Scouts.  We played a good game of ghost in the graveyard and lost a couple of things.  We had a little trouble getting the trailer out of its spot, but it only took an hour of waiting to finally go and it was a good learning experience.  Overall, we had tons of fun with a tiny...

  This past weekend was the Feast Fest campout. A lot of the troop showed up and it was a super fun campout. We had one AOL, Emmet, join us on the campout. We arrived at Camp Oyo kind of late, but it was fine. We set up patrol boxes, got our gear, and headed up to our cabins. We woke up the next morning ready to start the day with some delicious pancakes and sausage, then we got ready to go on a hike. We found out that it is hunting season and people were out hunting, so we went to a different trail in a non-hunting area that had a great view and is a great hike around a lake. In total we hiked about 6 miles. We went back to camp and made lunch. After lunch we did random things like basketball, gaga, advancement, and Micah and Zoe earned their Totin Chip. After that the cooks started making the dinner. The Swiss Misses had Mexico; Rams had Germany; Gladiators had Greece; and Whales had Italy. Everybody made amazing dishes. The girls won; Rams came in second; Whales came in third; a...
