Camp-out Update, and Last Pack Meeting

We are coming up on our last pack meeting of the year. It's hard to believe. Seems like after the Blue and Gold banquet time flys super fast and before you know it, it's time for the spring campout.

Speaking of which I hope everyone has had some time to check out the pictures. The boys and parents had a lot of fun. Timberhill proved to be super nice, private and safe for the boys. Friday night is always fairly quiet, since a lot of families usually wait and come out on Saturday morning. The Sextons ginormous tent was too big for the super cool tent platforms so their tent was pitched on the ground down in a valley, near the platforms. A few other families utilized the platforms on Saturday. Everyone else decided not to drag their stuff down the huge hill and chose to pitch their tents on higher ground.

Saturday Morning we had some bacon and pancakes, and then headed out on our first ever Letterboxing expedition. These weren't actual Letterboxes, we planted 4 boxes with treasures for the boys to find in teams. We have since planted a Pack 969 Letterbox in the place of Team #1's box. The boys (and one girl) enjoyed the hunt, and all got keychain flashlights when they found their box. Saturday afternoon we drug the boys out of the creek for the Space Derby. Ron Sexton built an impressive track, and the boys had a lot of fun testing it out. All who participated recieved a patch. Saturday night we utilized the small Amphetheater, and the boys performed spontaneous (very spontaneous) skits they made up. They also performed actual skits they have been doing for a few years. Joey and his brother were kind enough to teach us a couple new ones. The webelos led all the boys in a grand finale of "We're all in this Together" from High School Musical. The rest of the night was enjoyed by the campfire eating S'mores and Camper Pies.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the last Pack Meeting of the year on May 20th. Be thinking about how you'd like to be more involved next year, and consider joining us at the Planning Meeting in July when we plan for the whole school year.
