Matthews Troop 46 - Summer Camp Update

Greetings from Camp Grimes Scout Camp. The scouts have been having a blast at camp. Many of our first-year scouts have been participating in the Trailblazer program. This program introduces new scouts to basic scout skills, knowledge, and other activities. Those scouts quite often spend the afternoon swimming in the lake and both Trailblazer groups have completed their 5 mile hike within the past two days. Great news, the food is better than in some year's past. We met a gentleman that has been working with the camp to improve the quality of the meals. The best news is that the salad bar is back. At this time, there is a whole hog roasting over a firepit. It has been slow cooking all day. Please visit our website below to see the images we have uploaded this week which includes the pig roasting.

Each day our leaders spend some of their day hiking out to all of the program areas in an effort to capture images of our scouts in action. While the cellular signal is not that strong, we will continue to try and get images of all of our scouts uploaded during the week.

All of our scouts are in good spirits. Wednesday night, after dinner, we typically spend some time together in the campsite. Tonight, we will celebrate the week so far, hand out care packages, and have our own Troop Campfire lead by our scouts working on their communication merit badges. Here is a link to our website below. Please check the Blog and the Gallery on a regular basis to keep up to date with our Troop activities. Thank you for being a part of Matthews Troop 46 where we keep the outing in scouting!
