Scout camp

Scout camp was a blast this year. We went for eight days, so we had church in the woods. One of the leaders is a high priest so he could conduct. When we got up on Sunday morning here were our boys reading the New Era. It was awesome.

We worked on Enviromental Science and Fishing.
Wilderness survival, some of the boys built condos not shelters.

We worked on pioneering, we built a monkey bridge for our troop project.

We worked on Space exploration, we built some model rockets.

We worked on Rifle Shooting, the boys shot until they got tired or qualified. Yes, some of them actually asked if they could stop shooting.

We worked on Woodcarving, I had them do their requirements on a pine wood derby car and then we raced them. Thank you to Jeff for letting me borrow the track.

I got to race my old pinewood derby cars too, they kicked but in the stock class. Then we had some boys take big rock onto their cars. We had rain on Monday night and Tuesday and kept right on going. One trip to the ER for a burning cinder in the eye, and one boy with some serious home sick issues. We had solar showers, all of us had at least 3, that made the ride home nice. We made a latrine, complete with toilet base and seat, which pleased all of us. We kept the boys busy from sunup to lights out each day. We did 3 hours of clean up at the lake picking up garbage. Some of the fishermen gave us some weird looks, like I can't believe that scouts actually do that. Over all it was a total blast.
