Camp Easton 2013
Merit Badge College March Campout
By Jordan F

For the scouts of troop 201 the last campout was a real excitement for them. We went to Camp Easton and had a kind of “sleepover” inside the lodge. The object of the campout was for some of the older boys to learn some new skills and get their radio or first-aid merit badges. (In fact, the first aid knowledge was practiced when the whole troop played first-aid jeopardy) For the younger boys the object was to get to know their troop members and work on their totin’ chip and Firem'n Chit Card. A service project was done and all of the boys enjoyed helping. We had to tear down an old shack and it took a while but with team work we got the job done. Mr. Broder helped the boys build mini rockets to launch at the Scout o’ Rama. On the last night we had a campfire in the lodge and all of the patrols had skits and songs to perform for everybody else, and we had some of the ashes from Robert Baden Powell’s first campfire, passed down to many other fires and then finally to ours!

Long story short, everybody had fun

Breakfast = Bacon, oranges, and French toast
Lunch = Chili dogs
Dinner =  Chicken and rice
