Our den went on a Webelos campout this weekend. For some of the families it was the first time they went camping. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and even said that we need to do a den campout in the future.

I had a full turnout in that all scouts at least stayed the night. One had to leave for a football game but the rest completed 4 activity badges. [1] Athlete, [2] Showman, [3] Geologist and [4] Outdoorsman. A great start to the year.

This was a true scouting campout. Bugle calls for gathering, lights out and waking up (7:00). Plus all cooking was outdoors. Breakfast scrambled eggs were cooked in [5] dutch ovens. For lunch we cooked foil packs in a long trench filled with charcoal. The packs had hamburger & fries and some veggies. Very good. Reminds me of when I did scouting. I’m liking that we are getting to the age where we can do some of the more fun events and activites.
