The campout this past weekend was a lot of fun.(Even though our campsite didn’t look like it had been mowed in forever). On Saturday we did a lot of different and fun activities on Jamboree Hill, there was first aid, water testing, shelter building, fire making, geo caching, etc. Each troop had to to do a service project around thier campsite. Ours was picking up a lot of brush and cutting down a tree to clear a path so the cars could turn around on the road. we also had OA call out for all of the boys who have showed great camping experience. If you did not get a chance to come, you really missed out. Hope I get to see you at the next one.

Our Venture patrol pulled off a narrow victory at the annual Iron Chef Edmond Competition. This year, each team was given about a 90 minute warning about what “secret ingredients” they had to incorporate into their meal. The secret ingredients were: Tilapia, fresh rosemary, zucchini, bananas, and an orange. The judges were impressed by the creativity and outstanding flavor in the dishes prepared. All patrols put forth an excellent meal.
The Venture patrol’s winning plate included a Tilapia fish taco with zucchini slaw, rosemary grilled new red potatoes, grilled zucchini and squash, and for dessert a banana-zucchini muffin with orange frosting. Yummy!

We recently held a Webelos pin activity. There were about 50 Webelos here from seven different packs and they did Showman, Engineer, or Scientist. For Showman, they sang songs, made puppets, and held a play. Everyone had a good time. Here are some videos from the other pins:

Darren, Stephen, Lior, our adults, and I just arrived back from our fall-break backpacking trip along the Buffalo River in Arkansas. Everyone had a fun time as we were on the trail for three days, hiking over 20 miles. On this trip, we were able to explore a 440-foot tall bluff and a 290-foot tall waterfall. On our trip, we also spotted several elk, deer, snakes, and a bald eagle. Check out all of our pictures on our photo page. Don’t miss next year’s trip!

Philmont 2013
High Adventure

As you know, Philmont is the BSA’s premier high adventure base. We are lucky enough to have a trek all to ourselves. Even better, the troop from Houston that we are working with looks like they will have enough empty spots in one of their other crews to accommodate our overflow. I’ll pass along more information as it becomes available.
Located in the Sangre de Christo Mountains of northern New Mexico, Philmont covers an area of 214 square miles. There are thirty four staffed camps and 55 trail camps operated by the ranch. The rugged mountains in the area range from 6,500 to 12,441 feet in altitude. Wildlife is abundant in the area with deer, elk, antelope, coyote and black bear commonly seen.
Each trek is ten days on the trail and covers from 51 to 106 miles. Activities along the way are based on the camps that you visit on your itinerary.
The beauty of Philmont is only part of its allure. Nearly a million scouts have hiked the trails of Philmont since it opened in 1939. All agree that there is something almost magical about the place and the experience of completing a trek there.

Last weekend was Webelos Woods at Camp John Nichols. The Webelos had a bunch of fun on our monkey bridge, and building structures with Tinker Toys. We had a different cooking experience of cooking on a gravel road. We couldn’t cook less than five feet away from any vegetation. We also were entertained by the singing and ukulele and guitar playing by the Raines family. Thanks Webelos for a great weekend!!!
