Cub Winter Games

Now that we've (finally) shaken off winter... the Scouting tempo has picked up. Along with several other Troops, Troop 321 helped support the area's Cub Winter Games - and squeezed in a bit of fundraising, too.

Lots of happy Cubs!

Nick, Jacob, and DJ helped run a game for the Cubs. Darryl served as Master of Ceremonies. He does a fantastic job every year, though he's never worn a tutu.

Willard and Phoebe helped Grace run the bake sale table. The table was loaded with goodies, and we raised $200 to help buy new Pinewood Derby track parts (we could use a trailer to store it in, too).

Gary and Robert sold chili and Frito Pies (Fritos and chili with cheese) as a hasty Troop fundraiser (the Crew bailed out the night before). Robert also made Cajun cornbread, but he promised to try something the kids will actually like next year instead.

As for the "winter" games, we got our last sticking snow just in the nick of time to keep the event from turning into a "spring fling" instead. Lucky us.

Winter Campout

This year's winter camping was a blast. On the first day we arrived out to camp and those that had cars were almost submerged to because of the huge holes (lakes). Some of us had to wait for Darryl to come back and rescue us. We got to camp and stayed up for a couple of hours having a fire and eating pudgy pies. Then we all settled in for the night.

Saturday Night's Campfire

On the second day we got up and had some bacon, eggs, and toast. Then all of us campers started to build our winter shelters. After that we took a hike to Snowshoe Village and then back to camp. That night some kids slept in their shelters and the rest of us slept in cabins.

On the last day we woke up and had donuts. Then we began to pick up the campsite and left Camp without a trace. Although we almost burned the cabin down with a pair of socks, everyone had a good time. ~ Beau M
