Camp Easton 2010

Wow, the days are packed here at Camp Easton! It’s amazing what fun can be had in just 24 hours.
- First Class scouts and above had the opportunity to participate in an optional outpost overnight outing to Mica Bay. Twenty two Scouts and three brave adults hopped in kayaks and the camp’s massive War Canoes. Gourmet food (canned stew) was consumed at alarming rate after the 5 mile paddle. They returned early this morning (4 a.m. wakeup for 5 a.m. departure came VERY early) to see the impressive job the younger scouts did at the camp-wide flag ceremony. In fact, they returned early enough to participate in the Polar Bear Swim, if they so desired.
- The remaining scouts and six brave adults stayed at Camp Easton to participate in the camp-wide Instructional night with additional work in CPR, Archery, Rifle and Shotgun, as well as earning their Fireman’s Chit and Totin’ Chit. Then the group went back to the campsite to have a great campfire with lots of singing and laughter, as well as practice for the flag ceremony, thought of the day and daily prayer. They represented T570 very well.

August 4th, 2010 at 10:55 pm I happened to be in the “neighborhood” today and stopped by for a visit and lunch. Camp Easton looks like a great camp and from what I saw, everyone was having a great time, although a lot of folks looked TIRED. Our adult staff is doing a great job too! They seemed way too relaxed though. Keeping tabs on 70 something scouts would drive me insane. Mr. Rae is being very generous with his description of the “gourmet” food. The mystery fish sandwich and corn dog were, shall I say, rustic??? Keep the blog coming Daddio. Chris Strasbourg
