Klondike 2016

On the last weekend of January our troop went to Camp Delezenne for the 2016 Klondike.
We left Friday morning after we had packed all our stuff we needed to survive for winter camping.
We were accompanied by Darren a former scout in Troop 15. Our patrol this year was the Bowl Patrol. On Saturday we started going to our stations we signed up for the previous night. Our Stations were: Move the Bucket, Flapjack Flippin', Walking A Frame(1st!!!), Take Water from the Creek, Move a Log, Burn the String, Knot Gauntlet, and Boil the Water. It was a wet, muddy Klondike like always. And by the end of the weekend our small four boy patrol was famous!!!
Because our patrol yell was humorous(SPOONS!!!)

Rodeo Clean-up
We cleaned up after the rodeo on Saturday morning, Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon. We swept and picked up garbage. We went under the bleachers. It was a place so horrible it has no name. It was really dusty, too. We found a sock, a plastic horse, pair of readers, several sippy cups, bracelet, and several toys.
　

VFW Park Clean-up
The troop picked up sticks and branches that blew down from the trees at the VFW park in Monte.

 

Scout O'Rama
Only three boys went to Scout O-rama. They made rope and I think they did the knot gauntlet.  Here's a picture of the knot gauntlet.

Moose Lodge
We cooked burgers again. I think we made around $8 each for camp.

Klondike
Near the end of January we went to a place called Klondike. Klondike is a camp that improves our skills as a Boy Scout. Our troop did activities like: move the log (you need teamwork), tomahawk throw, knot gauntlet, and move the bucket (also teamwork needed). Our patrol name was Raging Bulls the other patrol name was Nutty Squirrels. We hung around the camp to keep the fire going because it was cold. There was a little snow on the ground. We had to set up our tent in the snow and cook our meals. It was actually pretty fun.

Luke's Eagle Project - Lake Sylvia Trail Improvement

The project was improving a trail so it would be safer. We graveled the trail, put rails along part of the trail, added some steps, and ate donuts and pizza.

Veteran's Day Parade 2011

  November 11th was the Veteran's Day Parade in Elma which the troop participated in.  The troop held our great banner made by Erin.  It was very wet that day and everyone was soaked by the time it was over.  At the end of the parade, the Elma Senior Center had hot dogs, chips, cookies, and sandwiches for the paraders.  After we ate the hotdogs and chips, we helped Bill take down some carports at the Memorial Park.





The Banner was held by Joe, Ty, and Ben.
The American and our troop flags were held by Donovan and Tom.
