How To Stuff 2 Draft Horses In A Ford Truck!

The Great Fun Of Scouting! We had the opportunity to

meet this gentlemen at the French and Indian War

Encampment. He comes to volunteer his time

and his 2 horses Elvis and Fibber. The mans name

is Windy! Wonderful old timer. Loves his horses

and loves people. We have to say I couldn't believe

this could be done but Windy did it. These old

timers can do some things a few of us younger

people would never think of. Safety wise....

ahhhhh! But definetly built out of love. So

I'm sure it's safe. Cute it was. 

Pole Dance

Now this is really going to make you smile. We love the wildlife especially bears. Our boys got to see a few 2 years ago at Calumet in Bradford, Pa. A few of the troops got to see them really up close and personal. That is they were personal with their doughnuts that were raising while the troop enjoyed their activities. Needless to say, they never saw those doughnuts. It is very important to respect nature and to respect our wildlife. Also to remember what they are capable of. Personally there are times I myself would tear up a camp for a crispy creme but that's another story for another day. So for now just remember to....Leave No Trace. That includes DOUGHNUTS!

Top Ten Wilderness Survival Tips

May 10, 2007 by buffaloeagle

10. Avoid pitching your tent on the rim of an active volcano.
9. The average bee can only sting once. The average hive contains 3000 bees.
8. Ketchup and black pepper, applied generously, can mask the flavor of almost anything.
7. Never doze off with raw meat in your sleeping bag.
6. Never play leap-frog with elk.
5. Always carry a water filter or purification tablets… or lots of extra toilet paper.
4. Remember: a rattlesnake is just as scared of you as you are of it. But keep in mind that the snake’s the one with poison fangs.
3. If attacked by a bear, play dead. It won’t fool the bear, but it’ll be good practice for you.
2. There’s no need to be afraid of strange noises in the night. Anything that intends you harm will stalk you silently.
1. If buzzards are circling overhead, then buzzard droppings are the least of your problems !

Look It's a Copperhead...I Guess Boys

Look it's a Copperhead, no a Rattlesnake..... in a Gartner snake sort of way. Kinda sorta guys the snake part was right but neither of the 2 first descriptions were even close. Here's a link though if you would like to learn about it. And PS guys it was a Gartner snake not a Copperhead but thanks for causing random chaos at the creek. It was really a funny. Especially the part were if it is a Copperhead why in the heck are you standing only a foot away. Hum...well work on that. http://garden.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Garden_Snakes

Boy Scout Of The Week

I don't really think we need alot of explanation for the picture of the week. Always a character. Guaranteed to make you laugh and always looking just as handsome as he does here. Reason being he is also boy scout of the week. Congratulations Robert. Good luck with the hair transplant.

Letter From Camp

Came across this on the internet. How cute. I kinda changed the names from the original . Don't worry we have had some occurences but none like this.

Letter from Camp:

Dear Mom, 

Our scout master Steve told us all to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and worried. We are OK. Only 1 of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Robert when it happened. Oh yes, please call Robert's mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the search & rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning. Scoutmaster Steve got mad at Robert for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Robert said he did tell him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him. 

Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can will blow up? The wet wood still didn't burn, but one of our tents did. Also some of our clothes. Mat is going to look weird until his hair grows back. 

We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Steve gets the car fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked OK when we left. Scoutmaster Steve said that a car that old you have to expect something to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance on it. We think it's a neat car. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the tailgate. It gets pretty hot with 10 people in a car. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway patrolman stopped and talked to us. 

Scoutmaster Steve is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Tim how to drive. But he only lets him drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All we ever see up there are logging trucks. 

This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Steve wouldn't let me because I can't swim and Robert was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood. Scoutmaster Steve isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the car so we are trying not to cause him any trouble. 

Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Tim dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works. Also Sean and I threw up. Scoutmaster Steve said it probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken, he said they got sick that way with the food they ate in prison. I'm so glad he got out and become our scoutmaster. He said he sure figured out how to get things done better while he was doing his time. 

I have to go now. We are going into town to mail our letters and buy bullets. Don't worry about anything. We are fine. 

Love, Drew
