Cub Scout Camp

Carter returned home from Cub Scout Camp at the L.E. Phillips Scout Reservation in Haugen this week. He was all grown up going to Cub Scout Camp by himself!

I was able to have lunch and watch the awards ceremony on Carter's last day of Cub Scout camp. We stopped in at the Klimie cousins to see if they would be home, as Bradley wanted to play there. Just as I was about to leave, Andrew came home on his bike. Bradley wanted to stay and play with Andrew. Abby, later came home (after her adventure of finding a turtle!!), and they babysat Bradley for me. Thanks Klimie cousins!!

I had lunch with Carter and then it was time for the awards. Carter received some very cool awards. One of them was the Polar Bear Dive award, which means that they wake up early in the morning and run out to jump in the cold water. Here, Carter is receiving his award along with an orange-flavored freezy......
It was soooo hot!! Carter's pack (Pack 54) also won the Golden Bucket Award which means they had the cleanest quarters. When we dropped Carter off at camp, his pack was staying in the tipis; however, due to the storm Sunday night, they had to change their sleeping arrangements to the Towers.
Here the boys are digging into the Golden Bucket to find some "treasures".

Carter and his pack buddy, Cody, were the two boys that found the "treasure" box. This box was full of candy.

Carter also received a Mountaineer award for climbing Mount Akela, an Adventurer award for "not giving up at archery or the climbing wall"; and lastly, another Adventurer award for "wiping off tables".

There were five boys from Pack 54 that attended camp, along with other Packs. Here is a picture of the Pack 54 boys (sitting down on the ground), along with their Cub Scout Counselors......

If you look closely, Austin's buddies, Levi & Bryce, were camp counselors. They are in the middle row. Levi is the third counselor from the left and Bryce is the fourth couselor from the left. Levi and Bryce kept a special eye on Carter for me. Thanks Levi and Bryce!!

All the counselors were a lot of fun and they do an excellent job with these little scouts.

Pack 54 is on the bottom row. Starting from the left, it is Cody, Tyler, Carter, Nick and Luke.

Carter had a great time at camp........he came home with lots of stories to tell of all their adventures. He was a very tired boy by the time it was done. He ended up falling asleep on the way home and slept until 6:00 that night. He was back in bed, fast asleep by 9:00 that night. What good memories for him to have of his experience at camp!
