This campout was well attended, with over twenty boys making the event including the Senior Scouts AJ, DJ and Nick. The weather could not have been better, especially after the long bouts of rain we have been getting. While many of the adults worked on some camp maintenance and repair, the boys busied themselves with various advancement activities or games. The senior scouts worked on Totin’ Chip with the youngest boys.
After lunch Mr. Kelley rallied the boys for a hike. We began our hike in Valley Pines and made our way into Wompatuck State Park. The trail was muddy in spots, but otherwise the conditions were excellent for a hike. The trip was relatively short – only about 1.5 miles.
For dinner, almost everyone cooked over the fire set up in the cooking pit. A few boys worked on their patrol cook; offering tacos to anyone that wanted them.
After nightfall the boys sang some song around the fire, did a couple of skits and finished the evening with a few games of manhunt. The senior scouts enjoyed a cool night under the stars, while the rest of the scouts sacked out in their tents. The adults kept to the cabin, and the weather was warm enough that we went without a fire in the stove.
We woke early to a very cool morning. After packing up tents and policing the campground, the boys were treated to hot chocolate and munchins by Mr. Chase. By 8am everyone had cleared out and the gate was being locked up.
Thanks to all the Dads that helped with the spring cleanup and chaperoned the campout.
