2008 Fall Campout

We held our Fall Campout this past weekend (9/26,27,28) for TWO nights for the first time ever! It was a huge success with more activities than ever before. The boys did BB guns, archery and fishing in addition to completing some specific activities with their dens. They all pitched in to help make the whole camping experience fun.
So many thanks to the organizing leaders, especially Steve M. for buying and bringing most of the food. The Kozars provided an excellent pasta meal Friday night and the Scouts had a ton of fun assembling their hamburger ala foil diners and cooking them on the fire Saturday night.
