Hey guys - troop historian and Star scout Dominic back again. In tonight’s meeting, Ms.Becca brought in a portable Gaga ball pit which me and other scouts had fun in during the meeting. We also had a guest at the meeting and some scouts worked on Rank. Also me and another scout brought treats that we all enjoyed.

Hey guys, troop historian Dominic here, talking about our recent summer camp. We went to Camp Daniel Boone in Canton, NC, for a week in early June. We all had fun. We met many other scouts from many different places and groups. Some of our cooking merit badge scouts made the jambalaya this year, and it was better than the other years. Some of the scouts, including myself, made a fort out of an old bridge at a creek near our camp. At the meetings leading up to camp, we made our own tie-dye and bleached shirts for the camp’s daily themes. Overall, we all had a good time and enjoyed the early June week rather than the Fourth of July week we normally do. The pictures here are from the troop making clotheslines to use in the campsite, and for the other scouts we shared the campsite with to use.

Historian’s report, from Life Scout Vivian:
“This campout was extremely fun. I got to hang out with my friends and see younger Scouts crossover and join our troop. We taught fire skills and ran games. I think it was a highly fun experience and other people should definitely come do it in the future. If they have the option, I loved meeting all the other troops that I haven’t seen in a while and the packs. I overall love it when troops come together and make one really big event so I thought that this whole thing was really cool. I think everyone had a great time and I’m excited to go again next year.”

Historians report from Life Scout Vivian, Troop:

This camp out was very fun overall the scouts made a lot of advancements with ranks and we spent a while picking up trash and helping out with conservation in the community. It was an overall great experience and I’m so glad I went. I think everyone had a great time at Fort De Soto and we can’t wait to go again.
