Greetings All! Your Troop 570 scouts and adults are adjusting to camp life up at
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:

August 3rd, 2011 at 6:25 am Thanks Geezer crew for the great updates and for ALL you are doing for our boys! We LOL’d when we read about the emergency drill…That’s our boy! We’re betting the SPL and bugler sleep through the weekend when they get back. :-) GO TROOP 570!
