First Day at Camp

Summer Camp -First Day of Activities

An early morning for some of the brave scouts - A polar bear swim at 6:30am.

Morning Flag raising ceremony followed with a breakfast of scambled eggs/hash browns with cereal, yogurt, apple danish, cherry coffee cake, etc. available - there is always peanut butter and jelly available - Then there is ALWAYS SONG TIME! Andy did a great job leading everyone
...
Interesting fact - there is a scout in the campsite that we are sharing with Troop 54 who is highly allergic to peanuts - so he has to eat outside and not come in to the dining hall.

Merit badge classes began - Lifesaving, Rifle, Communications ( such a group of hams in that class) etc. So did Trail to Eagle with a good class - much better than previous years -

Lunchtime had the Camp Mobilization Drill with everyone gathering at the Parade Field before lunch - chicken patties, cole slaw, chili, salad is always available too -

Afternoon classes began at 2:00pm.

Josh, Scoutmaster from 509, offered to teach the boys Geology merit badge to any boy that wanted to go to 509's campsite at 3:00pm each day - Josh is a geologist by trade - offered to the scouts this opportunity to earn another badge at camp - we'll see if any of them take him up on the offer.

Mainly cloudy skies here at camp - looks like it could rain, but it has not

Ready - JUMP

Song time!
