The troop camped out 23-25 April and went fishing on Saturday.  The boys also went in a paddle boat and canoe.  Everyone caught fish who gave it a try. 

Everyone cooked hot dogs on the fire Friday night.  MREs made lunch for Saturday and hamburgers were cooked for supper.  Sunday breakfast was sausage, bacon, eggs, cereal, and fruit- so everyone ate well.

There were some scout skills, hiking, fishing, and a healthy amount of play time for the weekend.  Everyone returned tired and of course, dirty!
