Friday was a nice day - the day was mostly clear and sunny. Today was the last day for regular classes. Mr Murphy took his Environmental Science class for a walk on the mainland so they could work on their merit badge.
Friday 1st period for these guys is Communications - one of the badges required for their Eagle rank.
Mr. Lantz is talking to them about the speech they need to give
Sailing Class
After classes ended for the day, Mr Kelley challenged the scout to a "swamp war". Mr Kelley set out in a canoe and challenged any and every scout to try to catch him and sink him if they could. The scouts set out in canoes, kayaks or they swam. Mr Kelley put up a good fight, but in the end the scouts overwhelmed him and he was left with a swamped canoe.
Some of the scouts playing a game called "Ninja".
You'll have to ask your son how its played.
The day ended with a campfire on the cliff. Several groups of boys did skits they had worked on in their Theater merit badge class. Other boys gave speeches for their Public Speaking or Communications badges.

After the skits and entertainment, the gedunk stand was opened in the kitchen and some fried plantain dessert was served. At lights out, the oldest boys returned to the cliff to watch the fire die.
