We had very small turn out, just Jefferson and Luc. We did have a great time and we teamed up with another 2 person patrol from another troop for the competition. Our Scouts did excellent with the knot tying, lashing and first aid. Their general knowledge of scouting was OK and we did about like everyone else on the map reading (horrible). Jefferson will undoubtedly be a salesman, based on his ability to convince the campsite judge that the tree in our campsite was our gate. We did post our information on it and it was very functional for shade and low impact. In the end, the combination of effort and salesmanship resulted in Troop 129 receiving a blue ribbon!
We also participated in tomahawk throwing, obstacle courses, shot gun shooting, radio and music merit badge classes. The fireworks on Saturday night were great. It did rain Saturday night and we got out before the heavy stuff hit Sunday morning.
In summary, we demonstrated our scout skills, made some good friends and had great fellowship with our neighboring troops in our sub-camp. Great job!
