Pack Camping Trip

Speaking for myself, I have to say that the camping trip was a success. The district had quite a few activities available for the boys to do, including bb's and archery. If your boy participated in those, make sure you let your den leader know. They earn a belt loop for having done so.

We started Saturday off with breakfast, a flag ceremony and a pack meeting. Cubmaster Dan put the boys through their first uniform inspections. Most did better than we'd hoped, dirt and all included. So, be prepared for our next inspection! After the pack meeting, most of us walked the trail up to the waterfall, though it was definitely showing the drought. We then had lunch on our own. District events started at noon, the boys got to pick and choose what they wanted to do. There were several crafts including making space goop, painting pictures, making star books and more. Several walked up to Big Rock, which I'm told is quite a hike.

Saturday evening dinner was either with the district or back at our own camp fire. From what I saw, the boys had a blast playing together and with other scouts they met.

Sunday morning dawned early with most of the pack picking up and leaving as quickly as possible. Several were more inclined to a leisurely pace and were content to let everyone else get out first.

Thanks to all the families that came, I hope you had as much fun as we did.
