Fall Camp at Manatoc

We had a SUPER time at Fall Camp this year, even with pending bad weather. Some people sat up in the rain, but we were really spared any heavy rains. Saturday morning we all awoke to sunny skies and really not too cold temperatures (50s).

Saturday, each of the dens had an activity: the Tigers did orienteering with compasses, the Wolves did hiking and sock-puppet creations, the Bears and Webelos earned (or re-earned) their Whittlin' Chip cards (carving with a pocket knife) and Webelos lashed together a puppet stage. Everyone participated in archery and BB-gun sessions as well as meal preparation and cleanup.

Thank you, Ed Kennedy for being our camp coordinator this year. Thank you, Kozars, for doing the heavy-lifting on getting the food supplies purchased and delivered to the camp. And thanks, leaders, for the good activities.

I agree, despite the damp and the gray skies, I had a fun time at my first Fall camp. I enjoyed getting to know of few scouts and their parents more; and now have a lot of nice memories. The leaders did an awesome job!! A big thank you to them and for those responsible for the birthday cake/flowers. I think Steve is afraid that I'm going to want to come to all of the camps now! - Charlene

Nothing like the great outdoors! We have a great bunch of kids in our pack. Ryan's favorite and most anticipated achievement, the whittling award, was the highlight of the weekend. Thanks to all the leaders and volunteers for making this campout such a great event. One thing missing...campfire songs. I understand Jennifer and Dave Sarkisian have the voices that could lead in song and after some discussion with other parents, there must be someone that can carry a tune on a guitar. What's your thoughts? We missed you Steve ... Char was awesome and should receive some type of badge?? Lori
