This campout was attended by a dozen or so of our scouts. The senior scouts for the weekend were AJ and Tyler. The weather was clear and dry - very nice actually. The senior scouts worked on Totin’ Chip with the two of the newest scouts. The scouts got our campfire going as well as our cook fire, while Mr. Kelley prepared an event for the afternoon.
After lunch Mr. Kelley explained the orienteering activity that they would be doing. The boys were partnered up and equipped with directions and a compass. The teams of boys had to work their way to a hidden "prize pack" that was about a half mile from the starting point. The boys had to estimate their total round trip time and then following the heading and distances provided by Mr. Kelley. Every team eventually found the prizes and some did very well on estimating their time.
After nightfall the boys did a couple of skits around the campfire and finished the evening with a few games of manhunt.
We woke to temperatures in the low 50's. the boys made quick work of cleaning up the campgrounds and by 8am everyone was on their way home.
Thanks to the Dads that chaperoned the campout.
