Cub Scout Spring 2012 Campout




Mom and Dad were in charge of the Pack 1151 Spring campout this year.  Which meant that, unlike most of the recent Pack campouts, there would be scheduled activities.  And lots of them.

Unfortunately, the Pack leaders decided to cancel the Saturday night camping due to the chance of a thunderstorm in the forecast.  But that did not put a damper on the event for Sam, Pete, and the three other Scouts who came to the event (Eric, Ben, and Alex).

On Friday night, Dad and Sam stopped at Pizza Hut and then camped with Ben, Eric, and their Dads.  Despite other groups taking their reserved campsites, they set up camp in the empty site D.  Pete and Mom stayed home Friday night so Pete could attend the school dance.

On Saturday, Sam and Dad woke at 7:30am for some donuts and Sunny D, and then played some Lacrosse, put up a canopy, set up and covered a bonfire for later, and found a Geocache near the entrance to the park while introducing Ben and his Dad to Geocaching.

Mom and Pete arrived for lunch and then they did the following activities:
  • Scavenger Hunt
  • Hike
  • Leave No Trace - How Long Does It Last?
  • Ultimate Belt Loop (and many games of Ultimate)
  • Leave No Trace - Watch Your Step
  • Pitching a Tent - Team Building Exercise 
  • Leave No Trace  - Draw
  • Campfire and S'Mores
After arriving home on Saturday evening, they confirmed that it was a good campout based on the following "dirt lines" on Sam's feet:
