Cycling fun in the fall

Well, we've just completed our 3rd bike ride in the last two months. Rick took the scouts to South Ogden for a 10 miler. Last week we took a 10 miler on the Legacy Parkway Trail and this week we took a 15 miler on the trail. What a beautiful trail and safe too.





No cars to hit us. It was great. Except we've had 3 accidents on the bike trail and none on the street ride. Go figure.










If we keep it up, we'll have two 10-milers, two 15-milers, two 25-miles and next summer we can do a 50-miler. Each scout will qualify for the cycling merit badge, a great accomplishment and fun thing to do!

Summer Campout at Anderson Cove

Well, here we are, a motley crew. Four strong and ready to have fun!

Camp Bartlett Summer Camp 2009

Getting out of town at 6:30 a.m. in the morning.








The troop spent five days and nights at Camp Bartlett, located in southern Idaho. The week started with cool weather and clear skies and ended with warmer weather and tired scouts. Much time was spent on attending merit badge classes.

Golf Merit Badge

We started working on the golf merit badge and had Rick Wright go through all of the requirements. Next week we'll be going to the golf course to hit a few balls.

Spring Camp Out at The Golden Spike Monument

We had a good turn out for our spring camp out. We invited the 11-year-old scouts to come with us. We had 6 scouts and 4 11-year-old scouts, along with 5 leaders. It rained Saturday morning after breakfast. We got to the visitor's center a little early and some of the scouts caused grief for the workers there. They didn't think it would be good if we ever came back - they thought Boy Scout meant Angel - Go figure. They were pretty good but they had an hour and a half in the visitor center and there were computers, coin smashers, things to buy and touch, younger scouts to intimate and places to run and potential for fun. The clue should have been the 'Boy' in Boy Scouts!
