We are at the end of our first full day of camp. The boys are all playing werewolf right now while I type...John Robert is MC of course. Then Buzz. Sending them to bed soon because we have our Pirate's breakfast tomorrow morning at 6am!
Sotir and Gabe getting ready for rifle shooting.
I couldn't get close to Griffin and Cooper at the archery range. The counselor is very safe. Maybe tomorrow I can get some shots
of them pulling the bows.
Richard trying out some kayaking during open boating tonight.
Friendly game of cards during open period for the Sr. Patrol Leaders.
Open boating on Lake Merriweather.
Gabe working on his submission for the Troop 1300 woodcarving competition Thursday night.
James lugging water back for our cooler.
Brother Merrill teaching the "Totin' Chip" for our newer scouts that don't have the training.
Proud owners of the Totin' chip. They can now use axes, knives and hatchets. Off to camp post tomorrow
to buy some knives! I hope they go for the woodcarving merit badge.
Class time. I think this is before Environmental Science, an Eagle required MB.
Meet our newest Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. He is leading the TCB patrol with Tate. Buzz is Assisting Caleb
with the Hammock patrol.
GIANT Jenga!
Lots of firsts today for the boys!
James and his Dad showed up this morning! Just in time for Environmental Science. Brennan and John L. have been
asking for James since Sunday.
Mmmmmm. Doesn't dinner look good?!
All 17 scouts and 3 adults, present and accounted for.
Really proud of these guys. They have accepted the challenge of doing the mile swim on Thursday with me.
Today, we had to do the first round of qualifying. Swim the 1/4 mile. Tate and JR also qualified, but earlier than us.
Isaiah is really, really liking kayaking. They will be back at it tomorrow for sure.
