Off on our monthly Scout campout

Troop 47 Website

Every month we venture into the boonies for a camping adventure. Rain, shine, snow, sleet, hail - kinda like postal delivery people! This month is no exception. This is the month we take our new scouts, usually in 6th grade, on their first camp out. It is quite a process to see them go through this first outing. Everything from no gear, to big bird sleeping bags to the new gadget that the scout's dad knows his son can't live without!

This is the month we teach the newbies fire saftey, the safe handling of saws, axes and knives, how to light a camp stove, build a fire - a truly busy and fun weekend.

So, blogging will be non-existant. I will post a few photos upon my return Sunday night to give you a flavor of the weekend.

Have a good one!

Bill
