Our Cubs and Webelos were placed in separate groups with different activities. As a Webelos, Rowen’s activities included creating a group cheer, making robots with LEGO kits, crafting paper airplanes, practicing archery, following an orienteering course, and learning how to build a fire. The boys prepared dinner (with adult help) at our campsite using charcoal and Dutch ovens.
We were extremely fortunate that it did not get as hot as yesterday. As is, we were sweating through some our activities, and the activities weren’t that strenuous. The good news is that the temperatures look like they will keep going down through the week.
I have discovered that I made an unfortunate choice in my tent location. There is a water spigot next to my site which the boys have difficulty turning off. If that wasn’t bad enough, I found a pile of strips of chicken in the mud there. It turned out that one of the kids from the other Pack at our site felt that the chicken fajitas we were making were too spicy. To solve this problem, the child tried washing the spices off of the chicken, dropped the plate and left, hoping that no one would notice.
Thankfully, I noticed.
