Haunted Ship and Enger Tower - a great way to spend some troop time!

This week, the boys held their annual cooking competition!

Scouts researched recipes, planned their meals, worked together, cooked, and plated their dishes before putting them to the test with a little friendly competition. Activities like this are a great way to put Scouting skills into practice while building confidence, teamwork, creativity, and the ability to plan and work through a challenge.

This year’s dishes included smash burgers with corn, fettuccine Alfredo with asparagus and chocolate-dipped strawberries, and Cajun chicken pasta.

🏆 The winning dish was Cajun chicken pasta!

Great job, Scouts!

Friday evening dinner amd closing campfire...

I hope everyone had a fantastic week, learned new skills, challenged themselves, and tried something new. It was a fun-filled week with plenty of memories that will last for years to come.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped with our trailer situation. Whether you were brainstorming solutions earlier in the week, helping troubleshoot, or jumping in at the end of the week to execute the plan, rearrange our packing, and make sure everyone—and everything—made it home safely and was unloaded, your willingness to help was truly appreciated.

It takes a team to make a week like this successful, and we're grateful for everyone who pitched in along the way. Thank you for helping make it another great week at camp!

I've always wanted to see wildlife in its natural habitat—not confined to an enclosure at the zoo. This week at Scout camp, I got my wish... maybe a little more than I bargained for!

Meet "Trouble," as the camp staff affectionately call this curious black bear. About 10 minutes before Trouble wandered into our campsite, a few of our Scouts and adult leaders spotted it in the woods while they were in their classes. Little did I know that it was heading our way!

Trouble made not one, but two surprise visits to our campsite within just a few minutes of eachother. The first time, it came running in behind me. The second time, I watched it disappear into the woods... only to turn around and come right back.

Thankfully, all of our Scouts were away working on rank advancement and merit badges by then, so no one was at the campsite except for me.

Needless to say, after Trouble's visit, everyone became much more diligent about making sure no "bear bait" was left behind whenever we left the campsite. Food, snacks, toiletries, and anything with a scent were carefully stored away to avoid tempting our furry visitor back for another stop.

It was definitely an exciting way to kick off our week! The good news? Trouble only made that one appearance (that we know of) during the rest of camp. Even better, this video earned our troop **Ecology Points** in the camp competition, so maybe the unexpected visitor was worth it after all! 🐻🌲

Good Morning!

What a Fantastic Friday!

Some of the Scouts were up bright and early this morning for the **6:30 a.m. Camp Polar Plunge** before returning to camp for breakfast. After that, they headed off to finish the week strong by wrapping up their merit badge classes. Many Scouts will be heading home with completed merit badges, while others earned partials that they can finish after camp. Our Scoutmaster will send out follow-up information after camp with instructions on how to complete any remaining requirements.

This afternoon, troop time included tie-dyeing T-shirts and spending time at the archery range. The final portion of troop time was dedicated to merit badge make-up sessions, giving Scouts one last opportunity to complete any unfinished requirements.

After dinner tonight, we'll gather for our troop reflection with our camp counselor before attending the closing campfire program. It's been an incredible week filled with learning, adventure, new friendships, and lasting memories. We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Sorry for no morning update today... it's been a busy day of learning and wrapping up merit badges!

After lunch, some of our Scouts headed to finish their Golf Merit Badge while the rest paddled canoes across the lake for a well-earned ice cream treat. Once everyone returned, they took on one of camp's favorite traditions—the Watermelon Maul (trying to wrestle a greased watermelon out of the water)!

Back at camp, the patrols worked together to prepare a spaghetti dinner before gathering to hear speeches from the candidates running for Senior Patrol Leader as part of our troop elections.

The day isn't over yet! Tonight, one of our Scouts is taking on the Mile Swim, while a couple of others are challenging themselves in the 5K Root B**r Run.

It's been another fantastic day at camp filled with learning, leadership, teamwork, and plenty of fun. We're looking forward to seeing what our final full day at camp has in store!

After lunch, it was troop time, where the Scouts had the opportunity to learn and brush up on their orienteering skills before heading to the sh***un range. They also enjoyed some downtime at the campsite to relax and recharge.

During our campsite time, some Scouts enjoyed a Trading Post slushie, went for a swim in the lake, or took advantage of some free time to clean up and unwind before the evening's Cheeseburgers in Paradise party and Beach Bash.

After the Beach Bash, the camp settled into evening free time. Most of our Scouts chose to stay in camp, where they wrapped up another fantastic day gathered around the campfire, sharing stories, laughs, and making memories together.
