Greetings All!  Your Troop 570 scouts and adults are adjusting to camp life up at Camp Pigott pretty well now and things have fallen into a good rhythm.  The hike up and down the hill to our campsite (the highest spot in camp) will get our legs in shape by the end of the week!  And we found that late into the evening there are some deer that like to bed down in the field next to us!

Camp food represents and eclectic variety of food groups (:^) but everyone seems to be getting enough to eat.  Especially when the Troop 570 bank open up for withdrawals and they head off to the Trading Post to help supplement their food(?) intake.

 

One of our troop time activities on Monday had half of the boys working on the low COPE course for some group challenges and the other half completed either the Art or Fingerprinting merit badge!  Even some of the Geezers had the opportunity to take on the challenges of the High Cope, and came away completely intact with very little therapy needed.  At the end of all that a camp-wide drill took place as part of the Emergency Preparedness merit badge, which several of our boys are taking.  SPL Kevin Schindler had our troop all lined up but was missing one scout – until he found himself (:^).

 

We started three in-camp merit badges last night for those that wanted take on some more!  At 8:45pm until around 10:00pm, three scoutmasters counseled three separate sessions on Camping, Pioneering and Music merit badges to about 20 of our young go-getters!

 

More tomorrow…some pictures at:
