Fall Family Campout 2012

Our Fall Family Campout this year was AWESOME!  So many fun things to do!  But the journey to get here was long and arduous.  First we couldn't find a spot to camp!  That was fall break weekend and every Pack and Troop in the state were out camping.  We love Sportsman's Lake in Seminole but it was booked by another nearby Council for a Cub-o-ree.  Well we looked and looked and eventually ended up asking this other council if we could share the Lake and of course their boys were always welcome to join in our activities.  This other council (can't think of their name or I would thank them) graciously agreed to have us at their Cub-o-ree, so their Indian theme and our Mission to Mars theme meshed.  They brought activities like archery, BB shooting, sling shots and para-cord bracelets, we brought water rockets, marshmallow launchers, Mars rock scavenger hunt and the radio isotope game.  We also enjoyed activities like hiking and fishing.  It was AWESOME!

Here we're trying the para-cord bracelets:

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome campout.  We've had 2 awesome campouts this year...can't wait for the Spring Campout!

Raingutter Regatta 2012

We held our Raingutter Regatta back at the end of September.  Probably on the only day the whole month that it rained!  We had a huge turnout with 15 Wolf boys in attendence!  Mr. K is giving the boys blowing pointers in the first couple of pictures.  Unfortunately I was judging the races themselves and didn't get any good pictures except when my son was racing, since I couldn't judge those races.  The boys did a fantastic job and Alan won for our den.  He placed 4th at the Pack level.  After the races, some of the boys were even racing their boats in the rain puddles :-)
