Bartle Days 7 and 8: Nice weather, a little humid though.

Day 5 and 6 Hot, then perfect temperatures at camp

Day 5, more merit badge classes, 12 called braves on workday and silence, 13 new Foxmen. Merit Badge classes, caving, rifle, shotgun, and pistol shooting. Lifesaving is getting tougher but our boys are up to the task. To top it off Ga Ga Ball. Crazy game, Scouts love it!

Visitor’s Day – Photos

To start off our visitor’s day, we all went to church. After our service finished all the scouts helped our beloved visitor’s unpack their food-filled cars and show them around our new homes. Once we had shown the visitor’s around we all had an outstanding lunch which included a troop favorite, pizza!At 3:00 o’clock the Dance of Joy occurred which featured some of troop 55’s tribesmen. To conclude this amazing day we had call night, where all the new Foxman, Braves, and warriors were selected.

Visitors Day

We are in Camp Lone Star: Campsite Mohican

Our campsite is all the way at the back of the camp, there is a circle drive but parking spots are limited. Follow the signs to us and drop off your stuff near the Handicraft lodge (chairs, foods, children, etc.) and then go park if there is not space. It is a long walk from overflow so drop your stuff off first! Scoutmaster Bob

Bartle Day 3 – ICO Hike, Merit Badges, and Outposts

Day 3 – more merit badge classes, delicious meals (lasagna for lunch) and a hike to Iconium, Mo. for hamburgers at dinner time. Thanks Mr. Tharp for coming to Bartle to cook for us! Paintball guns for the outpost today. Also two visitors, one Coachwhip snake around 4 feet long (absolutely beautiful) and a Copperhead at sunset. Busy day again and well…hot.

Bartle Day 2 – Umm…hot again! But not bad hot.

Day 2, started merit badge classes: Lifesaving right after breakfast with a 400 yard swim, boys went to Environmental Science, Soil and Water Conservation, Pioneering, Archery, Public Health, Communications, Geocaching, Sports, Personal Fitness, Canoeing, Fishing, etc.  On Outpost our boys did wipeout at the lake and climbed the rock wall in the evening. We also had Nick and Quentin go waterskiing at the lakefront in the afternoon. (no time for computer games) Incredible meatball sandwiches for dinner, cheese was the option on top – see photo.Late evening the called warriors were called out at the Troop campfire in our campsite, Mohican. Lights out at 10pm, 95% of camp was asleep by 10:45.
