Stake Encampment

From June 8- 12 ( Tuesday - Saturday) the young men ages 12- 18 had the stake encampment. Everybody had a blast. The Deacons had to do merit badges most of the time. They worked on Environmental science, First-Aid, Rifle Shooting, Archery, Woodcarving, and Some did Sculpting. On Friday we had to do Man-Up challenges like Climbing a 12 Foot wall, an obstacle course, tire pull, stick pull, stick throwing, rock throwing, and some did the Zip-Line. on the last day we cleaned up our campsite and got awards handed out. most boys got a sheath knife. Everybody had a great experience and had a great time. If your interested in seeing pictures you can go to this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=182276&id=604991370&l=3d28464b6d

Coons Bluff Campout 3/5-6/2010

On Friday march 5th most the deacons went to Coons Bluff. All the people there were Brother Bradshaw, Brother Papa, Brother Nealson, Brother Whisenant, Brandon , Michael , Nicholas , Ian , Tyler , Spencer , Bradon, Brandon, Garrett, Derek, Josh, Jacob, Ben, and Lucas. For dinner on the 5th we had Top Ramen and Chicken than later that night we had 3 kinds of Cobbler. That night we all had a great time playing games. The next Morning we all made breakfast and sat by the fire. For breakfast we had breakfast burritos and tang. A couple hours later we all divided into two groups depending on what troop you were in. After we decided our groups we all started making our catapaults using lashings and poles.

All our catapaults did great but it was a tie between how far the bottle got launched. After a couple tries of getting the bottle about 10 ft. The golden eagles and falcons patrols catapault snapped in the middle and everyone had to stop and clean up. While we were cleaning up the cookie monsters patrol was laughing at the other two patrols since their poles broke. Then we all had a boring/ tiring 50 minute drive back home.
