Scout Service - Baptisms for the dead

For our scout activity this week, we participated with the young women of the ward on a combined activity to do baptisms for the dead at the Ogden Temple. We had 8 deacon/scouts participate. They had a spiritual experience of service. The temple workers thanked us leaders for such well behaved young men. Each young man did over 10 baptisms each. After, a trip to Farr's Ice Cream was a treat for all. For those parents and young men working toward rank advancements in scouting, put down 3 hours toward service hours. The following scouts participated: Moab, Noah, Tyler A., Tyler S., Rhett, Tyson, Derek and Connor. Thanks to our leaders; Erik, Rick and John.

Winter Campout - November 7-8, 2008

Wow! We had 12 scouts and 3 leaders participate in a fun camp out at Bott's Camp ground in the South Fork Canyon about Huntsville. The two patrols provided their own suppers of hamburgers, chips and drinks. The early winter camp out had little snow, but the air was crisp and clean. The South Fork River was slow and low, providing a beautiful backdrop for a great camp out. Scouts camped in tents, 2-3 boys for each tent. Temperatures dipped down to 20 degrees by morning. The troop provide breakfast of Freedom Toast, bacon and hot chocolate. Scouts had whipped cream topping for the hot chocolate. Various games were played a little adventure was had by the scouts. The sun finally hit the camp ground around 11:00 a.m., just in time to pack up and head home. Thanks to our new leadership, Eric Tuttle, YM 2nd Counselor and Assistant Scout Master, along with Rick Wright, our new Assistant Scout Master.
