Getting ready for Firebuilding training
Getting ready for Firebuilding
Our campsite
Firebuilding lesson
Quiet, please! Class is in session!
Learning about the different types of fires, fire safety, and all that good stuff!
Venturing Crew / Venture Patrol
Looks like the Map & Compass trainer isn't showing up... in fact, no other troop has shown up! Could the rain have had something to do with that?
Mr Campbell to the rescue with an impromtu Map and Compass training!
Lunch time
Starting a 5 mile hike, ignoring the sprinkles!
Reaching the half-way point in our 5 mile hike.
A few feet short of the half-way point and out of range for the group picture, but we gotcha anyway!
A few (okay, only 2!) of the Venturing Crew, and their Advisor
Saturday dinner preparations, nice and dry under the canopies while the sprinkling continues
Saturday evening the Venturers got a great fire going, even with wet firewood! Way to go!
Two proud Scouts who also got a little fire going!
Sunday morning, all packed up and ready to go home
Roses and Thorns: Roses for camping and fellowship, thorns for the mud and the porta-potties!
