2013 11-year Old Scout Camp

What an incredible scout camp for the 11-year old boys this year!
Thank you parents for allowing your boys to participate!!! Thank you bishopric and primary presidency for supporting these things!
Here is a narrative…

They learned a lot !!

Lashings, First Aid, Orienteering with a compass, how to handle fire and an axe. Also honor by living the scout law (Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly Courteous, and so forth). 

 

Some dads came up to participate –thanks!!!

And they had some fun…

…playing in my hammock, "hanging out" and eating around the fire.

Dunes Campout (May 17-18, 2013)

What an amazing trip to the sand dunes, an hour and 1/2/ southwest of Provo.Thank you Mark Benson for inviting the 11-yr olds ! The older scouts taught them some great cooking skills. Here are some highlights.

What do boys do when they meet sand?

They dig ! …

and dig some more…

Then they burry themselves.

And they eat great food –that they cook.

New 11-yr old scouts fulfilled the following requirements for Tenderfoot.

• Spend at least one night on a patrol or troop campout. Sleep in a tent you have helped pitch.
• On the campout, assist in preparing and cooking one of your patrol's meals.
• Present Yourself to your leader, properly dressed, before going on an overnight camping trip.

11-yr Old Campout (March 1-2)

What an incredible weekend to enjoy snow camping –and we got a cabin !!! We were also fortunate to have all the fathers join us. As you can see, we didn’t waste any time getting our meals ready.

   

And no time wasted for playing in the snow. We went night-sledding (with the car’s lights) and then more sledding in the morning.

 

Both boys fulfilled the following requirements for Tenderfoot.

• On the campout, assist in preparing and cooking one of your patrol's meals.
• Present Yourself to your leader, properly dressed, before going on an overnight camping trip.

Scouter, Norm
