Well another year of Scout camp in the books. It was filled with more ups than downs. New scouts and older scouts working together to navigate this camp week. All around experience was guarded but genuinely the scouts proved that they are committed to Troop 226.Thank you to Brian Magill, my Assistant Scoutmaster, Eric Sperl, and Brooke Sperl. Also the staff at Camp Conestoga is truly amazing, and they prove to be fully prepared for all situations. But the most important thing I would like to say, from the bottom of my heart is.... Thank you to my scouts for a great week. I am super proud of all of you!!

Dig a Dakota Fire Hole // By T. Edward Nickens

Native Americans used a Dakota fire hole to hide cooking fires from their enemies. Turns out that these small pits also consume less wood while burning hotter than open fires. Plus, they excel in windy conditions and provide a great platform for cooking. The fire hole works by drawing fresh air into the combustion chamber. Hot air rises from the hole, creating a draft that draws air through the vent and into the base of the fire. The cycle is self-­sustaining, and digging the vent on the upwind side of the fire hole helps suck up the breeze like the air scoop on the Bandit’s Trans Am. Here’s how to dig one.

1. Dig the fire chamber. Excavate a pit 1 foot in diameter and 1 foot deep. Now widen the base of the chamber a few inches so it has a juglike shape. This lets you burn larger pieces of wood.

2. Dig the air tunnel. Start a foot away from the edge of the chamber, on the upwind side, and carve out a molelike tunnel 5 or 6 inches in diameter, angling down toward the base of the fire chamber.

3. Build your fire in the chamber and top the hole with a grate or green saplings stout enough to hold a pot over the flames.
