What we did these past couple of months!

What a wonderful outing we had at the Yurt at Camp Hensen.  Webelos from local packs were invited to stay with us for the campout.  We had about 30 people total attend.  With a forecast of potential snow, it didn't stop anyone from coming.  On Saturday morning, many scouts were able to shoot black powder while other scouts helped the Webelos with their knot tying and other activities.  As we had 20+ scouts, each patrol cooked the same menu.  For breakfast; pancakes and bacon, lunch; sandwiches, and for dinner, mac and cheese.  The afternoon consisted of more black powder shooting for some as well as a hike around camp.  As the weather was monitored, the decision was to come home Saturday evening after dinner.  As it turns out, the camp had also made the decision to close and have all troops leave.  Everyone made it home safe!   Stay tuned for pictures of our outing.
