It was wet and it was muddy, but that didn’t stop our Cub Scouts from enjoying the 2012 Mom and Me camping trip. We were able to try something new this year with bouldering and some rousing games of Fishes and Sharks and Three Musketeers races while waiting for the gate to open. And, of course, we played kickball. Our Saturday bonfire got rained out, but we made the best of it with board games and (microwave) s’mores.
The Tigers earned their Leave No Trace patches. The Wolves are half way to a gold arrow with five arrow point electives. And the Bears worked on their long-awaited whittling chips. It was too wet to work on the hiking belt loop, so we’ll look forward to that next year.
Thanks to everyone who pitched in with the everything that needs to be done to make a camping trip for over 80 people a success by cooking, cleaning, shopping, hauling and organizing, especially Sarah Cerone, Jenny Miller, Chestra Peaslee, Francesca Sobeck, and Anne Marie Vecchio. Thank you also to Chicken Shack for Friday’s dinner.
See you back at the ranch in October 2013!
