June's campouts

Look's like we all had a good time on our 2 different campouts in June.  I have not seen all the pictures from the hike in the Shenandoah National Park so I'm not sure if you got any rain.  Well, those of us who stayed at Burke Lake Park, we had a fun and a beautiful Saturday then woke up to the pitter-patter of rain drops.  The pitter-patter turned into a down pour!  Check out all the pictures on the website.

Some of our scouts were not as prepared as they should have been.  I was the only one who had a rain coat although it didn't help too much in that weather.  The campout was the first for a couple of our scouts so we'll cut them a little slack.  Hopefully, these guys will remember their 1st campout as a true learning experience and to always bring a raincoat and mess kit.

We can all learn from each campout we attend - things to pack, observe in nature and how to have fun.

Speaking of fun, have great time at summer camp and all your activities on your break!
