We had mega wind & rain Tuesday night, but everyone survived; only one dining fly went down. We had plenty of warning, so everything had been reinforced. Mr. Bothun reports that at 2:30 when some Scout woke him up (the raccoons were "fighting" out in the woods) that the sky was clear and the stars were out.
The first years came in last on the first site inspection, so they got latrine cleaning duty (see picture). The good news is they came in first on the next site inspection, and leadership came in last!
Last night was the beach bash for all but the first years, while most of the adults headed north for the adult appreciation dinner. One adult went to the beach bash to help supervise. The remaining three adult went for a fun filled five mile hike with the new scout, out to family camp and back.
This morning's breakfast was sausage patties, & eggs on an english muffin.
I just got back from leatherwork & basketry with the new Scouts (my knife case is coming along fine, thank you) and they are off the First Class Adventure. Everyone else is (or should be) off to merit badge classes.
Everyone is getting excited for the large troop campfire tonight. It is more and more difficult to keep them focused on what they are suppose to be doing, as they all want to be out gathering wood. Nick Yearous, Kurt Wallgren, and other MP staff members are anticipated to join us for the fun.
That's all for now from Many Point Scout Camp.
