Scout Camp

Last week was Henry's scout camp week. As the new Young Mens President he felt he needed to go to scout camp and hangout with the boys for a little while. As it turned out, they needed another chaperone and driver on Monday. So Henry had to get up at 4:30am to meet up with the boys and drive to Scout Camp. He ended up getting the stomach flu Monday night and came home early Tuesday morning. He said the food sucked and the instructors were terrible. Him and the other leaders are already coming up with a scout camp of their own for next year. There are better ways to spend $250! The troop was really diappointed.

Henry spent the rest of the week recovering from the flu only to go to 11year old scout camp Friday and Saturday. He is still the Stake 11 Year Old Assistant Scout Leader. Friday afternnon a storm blew in with dark ominous clouds, lightnng and really strong winds (it blew 3 troops tents to shreds). The leaders talked and decided to all camp for the day. So most of the troops went home for the night instead of sleeping out there, and came back Saturday morning for the rest of camp.

Saturday, Henry did an archery demonstration for the scouts. He was 1 station while the others were bow string making, arrow making, and the boys got to shoot. Henry and his friend would shoot from various distances and answer questions about archery and their equipment. They are always a hit at scout camp. Even though Henry is supposed to be released soon, the leaders have asked that he come back next year already.

Kyle had a blast at the 11 year old scout camp. We took his nerf bow and arrow and he got to shoot a little too. He was so dirty afterward though. He got to take his bather early that day!
