Fall Skills Camp
November 6- 8, 2009 - Camp Blue Heron

Fall Skills was our 3rd camp of the year, the 1st solo camp for our Troop. Each patrol planned their own menus for the entire weekend.

FRIDAY
We got to the camp and had 2 shelters to cook in (one for 1st Carlisle and one for all the Burlington groups). We set up a small unique kitchen for each patrol while the 1st years helped with campfire. We made mup-up, set up tents and went to bed.

SATURDAY
Woke up. People on cooking duty made breakfast, ate, finished dishes, and got prepared for activities. The seniors went on a nature walk, and completed some badgework involving plants and trees. We organized and activity of "leave no trace" invovling recycling and water. The Activity went okay. We had lunch, and did afternnon activities including geocaching, compass work and archery. Later that eveing we had a campfire.

SUNDAY
Ate breakfast and packed up gear, tents, kitchen, etc.; packe up the trailer, did a garbage sweep, and went home.

Overall it was a good camp, although I had to go home early.
