Pack 1 goes on 2 campouts each year and their spring campout was only a few miles away! At the time of the campout, you'd only been an active scout for about a month so we didn't think you were ready for the full-blown weekend. Confession: another factor of that decision was that the weather was unseasonably cold for late April and a nice, warm bed sounded much better than a thin tent! Instead, we just participated in Saturday's lineup.
We arrived right after lunch and we were just in time for a game of kickball. Here, you were pitching. I loved that it was parents and kids playing together!!
Then some of your pack went to a team building course. Here y'all are listening to the leader as he challenged you all to stand on the log and put yourselves in height order without anyone falling off the log!
Another obstacle required that you all fit yourselves on this tiny board. To complete the task, you had to sing "Row, row, row your boat" together without falling off. That made everyone laugh out loud!
Later, you got to try archery for the first time!
You truly enjoyed every activity they had y'all do but your favorite part was doing everything with your friends. And the smiles in this one picture are enough to make me want to stick with scouting for the long haul!
Your pack leader lead everyone on a hike through the woods before dinner.
We got together to pray before dinner and then I asked for a quick group picture before y'all ran off to the chow line.
I melted over this cuteness as you headed to that night's campfire. I love the way the older scouts take the younger boys under their wing -- literally.
Campfire was the time for jokes, stories, and skits performed by each den.
Of course, I thought your den was the cutest ; )
S'mores around the campfire was the final event before lights out so we indulged and then slipped away to our warm houses.
We spent almost 10 hours with your scout troop that day but you were already asking on the drive home if we can stay for the whole weekend at the fall campout! I just love that you love it!!
