Our first camping trip!

The entire gang assembled! I think we really had a great turnout for our first organized camping trip--- a big thank you to all who attended.


The scouts (along with our two honorary scouts) on their way to do a little spelunking...


The slithering-through cave of HORROR! Your humble webmistress didn't actually go INTO this cave---


Wouldn't want to be in there during a big rainstorm!


Our fearless pack leader pointing out the finer points of rock formations...


The weather couldn't have been prettier...





This photo is from a trail through an area of sinkholes--- it was created as an eagle scout project (the path that is--- not the actual sinkholes!).



I think I can speak for all the scouts that attended the camping trip this weekend when I say that we had a FANTASTIC time! I will be posting some photos shortly that will detail for you some of our many adventures, including:

*The slithering-through cave of terror!


*The rocky mud-cave


*Bike-riding exhibitions


*Forest exploration


*and All Around Fun!

Special thanks to our pack leader John who arranged our inaugural camping trip, and also to the Smyrna c of C who graciously invited us to their pot-luck on Saturday night.
