| The
troop had a small group join together for fun and service
at the Monastery. After a short rain on Friday evening we
setup camp, had a snack and then gathered for some
campfire games. After a good night's sleep we awoke and
had breakfast. It was then time for a few service
projects. The scouts worked on clearing weeds and
cleaning up the outdoor chapel while the adults worked to
repair a riding mower. All projects were completed in
time for lunch. When lunch was finished we searched the
woods for spars to build a troop gateway to be used at
future events. It was a big task, but by working together
we were able to find all the needed pieces. After a short
break we began reviewing and understanding the
competitions for the Camporee in September. We even did a
few walk throughs of the events. Will did a great job
with all the meals. No one went away hungry with a
filling and nutritious Dinner cooked over an open fire.
Once clean-up was complete there was some free time
followed by a game of capture the flag out in the field.
Mr. & Mrs. Mayher brought out ice cream for a
delicious treat. Then it was time for another round of
campfire games. We were having such a good time that we
ended up going to bed later than usual. In the morning we
woke up and broke camp in a timely fashion. A quick
breakfast and we were ready to police the area and head
for home. Those joining in on this trip were James(1),
John, Nick, Steven, Will, Mr. Dzurnak, Mr. Makowski, and
Mr. Wrabel. Visitors Mr. & Mrs. Mayher and Stephen M. There was some sad news at the end of our campout. Late in the evening Sister Agnes was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She passed away shortly after arrival. Sr. Agnes was a great supporter of scouting and always welcomed our troop to the monastery. May she rest in peace and be eternally blessed. |
