Webelos Camp-Out Part 2

Our hike was supposed to be 3-miles but it turned into 5. It was fun though.

When we got back to camp, Quamron's mom had some games for us to play to earn our Leave No Trace badges.

We started in teams and had to pack a back pack to be prepared.



We raced to each station and earned a card. Each station had a different game. We could not leave any person behind and had to stay with our team.


The games were fun. We also played games with buckets of water.

Then it was time for dinner. We cooked our own hot dogs on the fire.


We retired an old United States Flag. That part was very cool. We had to be respectful though and didn't take pictures.

Here is a picture of our fire though.


After that we did our skits and sang songs.

Here is our family skit.


Here is our Badger Song.

Webelos Camp-Out Part 1

The Webelos had to do the planning and pitch in with the work on this trip.

Our family (along with the McDonoughs) was assigned breakfast the first morning. We got up at 6am to get started.

Calvin made the bacon.


Joshua made the eggs.


Once breakfast was ready we had our flag raising ceremony.


Then we took off our class A uniforms and were comfortable in our class b's.


We had to lead everyone on a 3-mile hike. It was fun finding the trail.


There were so many neat things to see. BUt it was very hot and humid. We were all sticky and wet.





We found all sorts of cool things on our trail.

Here is a yellow belly slider.


Here are some very cool orange mushrooms. They were much brighter not on camera.


Here toad is called an American Toad.


This is called a Rough Green Snake.


The water looked nice and cool.


We took a brake from our hike at the visitor center. They had a cool museum inside and there was air conditioning. We worked on our knots (taught line) in the hallway

What I'm Working ON - Calvin

Cub Scouts is fun. Right now I am working on the Athlete and Handyman badges.

For Athlete we built an obstacle course and raced on it. I also have to exercise for 30 days and keep a log of my progress.

Exercises I do everyday.
Long Jump


Push-Ups


Pull-Ups


I also do curl-ups (they are like sit-ups), verticle jumps, and time my 50 yard dash and 1/4 mile runs everyday.

For Handyman we learn about tools and how to use them. We did bike repair a few weeks ago. I can change light bulbs the right way by looking at the wattage and volts. My dad is going to teach me to check the oil and tire pressure on the car.

Cub Scouts is hard work but it is cool.
