Troop 482 has just completed another great week of Resident Camp at Camp Bucoco for 2011! Although the weather conditions were extreme with temperatures in the 90's, high humidity and a few downpours, our scouts came through the week in fine fashion. Lots of Merit Badges earned as well as numerous recognitions for achievements went to the scouts and leaders of Troop 482.
Troop 482 had two entries in the Dutch Oven Cook-Off. The boys entered a delicious Chicken Stew which earned them the "Vanilla Award"! The award is amusing since it calls the dish "Kids & Chicken Stew"! Don't worry we brought all the boys home with us! None of them went into the stew.
The Leaders entry was Mrs. Bell's famous Beef Short Ribs and Mashed Potatoes. Once again the award is amusing since it reads " Beed Short Ribs and Mashed Potatoes". I can vouch for the fact that they were DELICIOUS! I didn't find any "beeds" in mine...
Speaking of eating, who can forget HAPPY SONG TIME? Our troop had a couple of guest leaders after lunch on Friday for "The Badger Song"! "Standing?...YES, STANDING!!!"
Some of the boys cooled off at the "Water Carnival" Friday afternoon. One of the activities was called "Dizzy Bat" which consisted of the participants spinning around ten times on a bat while being sprayed with a hose. They then had to run about 20 yards to a marker while trying to stand up!
Here is a link to a photo gallery of all of the photos that I took during the week:
WE LOVE CAMP!
