Troop OR-1531 spent some time outdoors to closeout the month of April. The theme for April was, appropriately, camping skills, and setting up camp, making a campfire, setting up a tent, and cooking over the campfire where all skills honed by the boys. There were also lessons on the American flag, nutrition, and a game of kickball!
The pictures below show the boys building the campfire and then enjoying the stew they cooked on it.
It was a windy day, but the fire took!
The log cabin method as demonstrated by one of the boys.
The boys gathered tinder, kindling, and firewood from the area.
The boys, and a little sister, enjoying the stew they all had a hand in making (along with baked potatoes and baked beans).
After the fire was built and building a good bed of coals, one of the dad’s led the boys through the process of setting up a tent.
Hunger is the best sauce, and a quick game of kickball helped get all the boys hungry!
