Thursday Morning

 Good morning! It appears geography is our friend and that the projected all day chance of rain will miss us. Currently, its 72* and cloudy with a projected high of 82*. 

Today is the LAST day of merit badge classes. Some of the options include: geology, weather, chemistry, signs/signal/codes and other classes finishing up from yesterday like swimming, canoeing, and shooting badges.

The younglings will be doing Animal and Plant identification today with Mr. Millet.

 Good morning West Virginia and Ohio! It's the LAST day of camp. We survived the ~1hr thunderstorm last night about 230am. Mr. Morris has perfected his dismount from the hammock and detaching it while rushing into his nearby tent without getting wet. Today has a higher humidity (88%) than temperature high (85*) but cloudy so we'll take it! The young men did a great job with the camp flag raising and raised the bar for how it's done.  This morning Mr. Millet went through the merit badge list with each individual scout verifying which ones they attended (including add-ons) and each scout is aware of what they need to do to ensure they get credit for each requirement and badge they've earned.

 Good evening folks back in Ohio! First full day of camp is in the book and multiple merit badges are completed. This camp does 3hr blocks (most 1 day and some are 2 different days). The scouts had mixed reviews on it depending on the merit badge. 3hrs for fishing = 👍. 3hrs for a "boring" merit badge = 👎. Weather was absolutely amazing today. A bit chilly to start it off but 70s and sunny for the day's activities. Cant ask for more. Well, yes we can! Same tomorrow please.  The 1/4 mile zipline was a hit with the youth and the adult that tackled that. Open shooting tonight also drew a crowd.
