What we did these past couple of months!
In January, our troop did our favorite winter cabin camping at the Yurt at Camp Henson. A Webelos and dad joined us for the weekend. On Saturday, the scouts went on a 5 mile hike around the camp. The highlight was game playing into the wee hours of the nights. Jim T. brought his propane smoker. The adults enjoyed smoked ribs, while the scouts made double-smoked ham. What a delicious dinner!. Check out these pictures!
We also helped with Warm Nights on December 26th. Thank you to all who contributed food and time for this very special event. You can check out pictures here!
