Winter Camporee 2007
Here’s a recap of this year’s winter camporee.
The theme was “Bend in the River” ran and staffed by O.A. (Order of the Arrow) All the activities were Indian related. Troop 60 had eight boys brave the weather which was cold and windy, three adult leaders and an overnight visit from Lowell Williams.
Awards received were 1st place in Fire building and 2nd places in tomahak and the dutch oven competition.
The boys spent alot of their free time on the hill with snow boards and building a snow fort at camp. There was one point in time when the fort came under attack from two unnamed leaders and a lone scout helper. The battle went on for awhile and everyone was colder than they were before it started but a fun time was had by all.
Other than that, what can you say about a group of folks leaving the comfort of their warm, dry homes to go out into the wilderness and sleep on the cold ground. A few names come to mind but I’ll just stop right here and say I can’t wait for next year!
