Tuesday Morning



 We have another beautiful day ahead of us but it's going to be a warm one with a high of 83* and nary a cloud in the sky. Grant was making sure all water bottles were full and the young men are off to their merit badges while the younglings are working with Mr. Crawford this morning learning fire building skills.

The Biggs are off at an overnight ROAR outpost getting some open rockface climbing in with a 1.5mile hike there and back. Cant ask for better conditions for that!

There are two blocks each day for merit badges (9am to 12pm and 2pm to 5pm with a siesta from 1 to 2pm where all camp activities are closed and the scouts regroup in camp

Another great day lays






ahead!

Friday Morning

 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. This is where personal responsibility comes into play. Later today includes the campwide games and closing campfire. Along with pre-packing. Mr. Lucal reminded the youth that they have a tendency for their gear to expand in volume and how tight the trailer fit was.  We shall see how t...

Monday Evening

 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.
