"Scouting brings out the best in each of us. Live what you've learned and will continue to learn. Help others to hike the trails, to keep steadfast in the paths of truth, of honor, of duty, that all of you can soar together on eagles' wings. You are part of a mighty army of youth, even a royal army, and every organization, to be successful, has an honored tradition to uphold. May you uphold Scouting's tradition, for it can be as a lighthouse beacon in the world of stormy seas, it can be a motivation to prepare for your role in life, it can be a yardstick against which you measure your accomplishments." ~President Thomas S. Monson--2010

Wilderness Survival Camporee

 February 2012 Wilderness Survival Camporee.
Dinner preparation.  Everybody pitches in.
 The beginnings of a dutch oven stew, which turned out pretty tasty.
 Group picture in front of the Order of the Arrow's tepee.
 The boys eating their ash cakes that were made from corn meal.  The cakes are then placed on a hot rock, and then covered with ash for 3-5 minutes.
 The boys patiently waiting to win their awards.
Congratulations Troop 819 for having a very successful Camporee!  Our troop won awards in the signaling mirror competition, and of course who can forget the sling shot competition.  "It's Tebow Time!"  I don't think that any of us will forget the manner in which we won that competition.
