January 2011 Campout

This January, the scouts went on a campout. We went up to Bate's Lodge, built snowcaves, but never slept in them. Brother Bates and Tom had built an Igloo a while before, and some of the scouts slept in that. Phin's snowcave was getting really big -- almost big enough to sleep in -- when it collapsed on Jay. Luckily we got him out in only a minute and a half or so, and he was fine. Attendance: Phin, Jay, Seth, Russel, Kaleb, Jacob, Tom, Brother Bates, Jon, and Cory.

 Jay and Russel slept in here.

Pow-Wow November 2010

On November 2, 2010, some of the scouts went to the Pow-Wow. Here are the scout's names:

Tyray

It was fun. They had the "Carpentry" Merit badge, which is one of the 2010 Only Merit Badges.

Scout Camp 2010

We had a full load of boys last week at scout camp Aug. 2 through Aug. 7.  Those who attended were Bryce, Jacob, AJ, Jay, Russel, Phin, Tom, Kaleb and Russel's cousin Joshua.  We climbed table rock and won the spirit stick.  All the boys did well and got lots of merit badges.

3/14/14  I was updating photos on my computer and came across this video of that scout trip.  I will also post some pictures of climbing table rock.

Big Eddy campout

note: tell me if  "Big Eddy" is spelled wrong.

Last Friday we went on a camp out to the Big Eddy. The people who came are: George, Chad R, Jon (my dad), Cory, Zed, Bryce, Jacob, me, Tom, Jay, and Bridger. Kaleb and Russel joined us in the morning.
Friday night we had a campfire program. Zed played the guitar and Bryce, Jacob and I sang Puff the Magic Dragon and Drunken Sailor. Bryce told a not-to-scary story, and then we went to bed. We heard a moose in the middle of the night.

When we woke up we started making breakfast, and that was when Russel and Kaleb came. While breakfast was cooking Jay and Bridger went to get firewood, and they saw a mother moose and its baby.
Then we found it again (I didn't see it), and everybody said that was cool.

Then we went on a hike. We had to find and identify at least 10 signs of animals, and we scored it. Bryce, Zed and Jacob all got 72 points, I got 67, and I have no idea how many other people got. We actually went on two hikes, one was 4 and a quarter miles, the other was one half a mile.

Everybody had fun (I think).

Please Comment

Hey, everybody, can you please comment? That I can tell if  you came.

Thanks!

Klondike Derby

On Friday, February 5th, we went to the Klondike. We met at the Victor Church at 2:30, and then headed up Piney Pass. we got there at about 3:00, and then set up camp. After that we made a Huge snow fort, with four entrances. It was about ten yards long,but more of a tunnel, not a cave. for dinner we had chili dogs and chips. In the Tenderfoot scouts' tent, we got a big barrel stove. It was hot in there! In the morning we had breakfast burritos with eggs, sausage, cheese, and salsa. at 9:00, the activities started. First we had the first aid thing, then we had compass orientation, then we had... THE KLONDIKE!!!!! We beat the record by a minute and thirty-six seconds! Then we did the fire starting contestand got second place in that. Overall, we got first place. Our prize was an axe that we named Karen.       

                                    

Here we are, at the First Aid department.

                                    

Ready, Get set, GO!

                                    

"You just beat the record by two and a half minutes!"
