Court of Honor Summer 2015

By -
This Sunday was our troop's annual Spring Court of Honor at Moundview Park, located in Newtown. It started off at around 5:00 when cars started to pull in the grass parking lot. These cars carried two things. Scouts (Fully dressed in class A) and FOOD. (Oh, and the wonderful parents who made the food). Then we got the show on the road.


 It started off with a welcoming by our SPL, Seamus G. That was followed by the presentation of the flags, and the pledge. After a prayer by Logan S,  my personal favorite part of the event came. WE GOT FREE FOOD!!. (You all probably saw that coming.). After that rat race was over, we all settled down for the presentations.

 First came the Recognition of Advancement. This recognized the Scouts who had advanced in ranks, and the scouts who had earned merit badges. Then we had some special presentations, some for adults, some for the Scouts. After that, we moved on to the most important part of the night.(No, its sadly not more free food.  The Induction of the new troop leaders. For all of you who don't know, this is the part of the night where we say goodbye to the old and bring in the new. Jackson T. became our new SPL. We had many other new leadership positions, including me. I'm Danny C, and I am the new Historian.

  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
