Men at Work! For our camp service project, the Scouts and Scoutmasters of Troop 570 man handled tree rounds, moved chips, covered the trail, and sawed some downed trees on the trail. Big kudos to the younger scouts of the troop, who carried tree rounds either half or all of their weight!
Predator versus Prey—The troop played a round of predator versus prey with one predator and everyone else prey. Sounds lopsided, but that predator had a lot of power. In the end, the prey won out by attacking all at once.
Canoe Swamp—troop time also brought the infamous Canoe Swamp where the boys get in canoes without paddles and try to sink each other in boats. The Geezers made a good showing, but had trouble getting off the dock area. The canoes, it seems only hold 650 pounds. They sank immediately. But, never fear, they recovered in time to go on the attack. Many great strategies were used, however, in the end, all were sunk.
Capture the Flag—the most participants in the smallest field ever played a rousing game of Capture the Flag. Our troop of 50 played against a troop of 33. Much posturing, little advantage. They played to a stalemate after an hour. But as one young scout said, “That was so much fun!”
