What can you do with a trash bag and stick? Make a tent!
Playing cards is universal at Boy Scout campouts it seems. Gavin, Charlie, and Matt join two Eagle scouts from Wilmette troops to present the flag at the New Trier Opening ceremony for the first football game against Loyola Academy, big rivals. Loyola and New Trier made special shirts just for this game to pump up the energy.
The first meeting of the year. The lower rank scouts who tend to go Makajawan as campers are busy cleaning the grime from Makajawan camp cooking gear.
The new school year is about to start, so it the new troop year. We always begin our troop year with a family picnic at Cunliff Park in the sun, with a barbecue, and some sports.
Makajawan was a fun filled week or two of swimming with troop buddies, camping under the stars, eating at the mess hall with over the top camp counselor skits, and learning through merit badge activities. 5 out of 5 starts!!
Raising money for our new tents. Four days of car washing. Even a fire truck came! Fly fishing merit badge in Lemont, Illinois with the Oak Brook Chapter Trout Unlimited. Met at the Sagawau Environmental Learning Center to tie flies, then transferred to Horsetail Lake to cast and catch fish. Thank you, Educational Chair Mr. Strauch!! |
