10-17-05 Last weekend we went camping at Carver Park Group site #3 at Lake Zumbro. Friday night was
spent around the campfire with smores and the boys congregated in and around Davids truck (new toy). Saturday the Webelo's
joined us for some games and a Chouba hunt- Chris will tell the story sometime. We played capture the flag with the
Webelo's before they went home. The Scouts then played glow in the dark touch football and a new and evolving game of
hide and go seek tag, complete with Harry's gilly suit. Pretty good timefor all.
August: Nine Scouts went Bowling at Tuttles for 6 games on a Saturday afternoon. We had pizza and soft drinks for
refreshments, and then the boys went out to Westwood Nature Centure to finish Andy's Eagle Project.
