Summer Camp Day Two

By -
Another great day at Camp Friedlander!  All were tired Monday evening and most were asleep by 10:30 last night... a big improvement from the previous night.  We noticed the racoons apreciated the earlier bedtime as they moved into camp much earlier looking for any food left out (we successfuly disapointed them).  We awoke to very cool conditions this morning- something that will be missed later this week!  A few highlights  -Hayden did a fantastic song for the troop this morning after loosing an item, some singing and dancing talent not noticed before:)  -Corey caught a nice bass Tuesday evening (pic below)  -We had our troop picture taken after lunch today, i think you will agree that we are the best looking troop at camp!  -Some good advancement is occuring, and we are expecting a lot more tonight after dinner.  I heard that some care packages have arrived at camp- the troop says thank you!  Some selected pictures since the post yesterday are below.

Enjoy

  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. Dinners were a way to co

Historian Aaron G. - Tobogganing Campout 2022

  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 group of Scouts.  Hopefully we’ll have more to go next yea
