Troop 888

Monday was a good day for all of the boys. The first full day of camp is always an adventure, as we get into a routine and the Scouts figure out where they are supposed to be and when. No hitches with the Merit badges so far.

We did have some excitement last night in camp. Around 2:30 am, Mr G was awakened by shouts from a couple of the Scouts as they scrambled out of their tent. Apparently, there was a 'furry, four-legged creature passing gas under our tent!"... Mr G, flashlight in hand, showed that there was nothing under their tent except bugs and spiders (which really calmed them down) and send them back to bed!

The food is pretty good. Dinner Sunday night was chicken parmagiana, and last night we had shepard's pie (which excited Mr Killmurray no end!). The vegetarian meals have been good as well (or, that's what's been reported to me). Breakfast and lunch are similarly good, and the boys are getting enough to eat.

After dinner, we took an 'official' Troop picture outside the dining hall. Last night, with nothing required on the schedule, the boys hung out around their campfires.

That's about all for today. The weather is wonderful again, upper 70's, with a light breeze and not very buggy.
