Fun Filled Weekend at Fall Camp

Expectations of a pleasant weather weekend at Fall Camp were set nice and low based on the forecast for rain the entire weekend. Weather would not stop pack 115 from enjoying another fun filled weekend at Broad Creek Memorial Scout Reservation. The pack was pleasantly surprised when Mother Nature decided to give the scouts a full day Saturday without a drop of rain and even gave a few glimpses of sunshine. Some of the scouts arrived on Friday night and got settled in, other's arrived early Saturday morning.

Saturday morning started off with activities at each cabin that the scouts rotated through. The activities included Flag History, Map and Compass, Flag Football and Feats of Skill. The boys had a great time at each of these stations. Each den spent 45 minutes at each activity before they moved to the next one.

Feats of Skill - Arm Wrestling!

It was time for lunch and then onto some afternoon fun. The Palus family surprised the whole pack with a giant sized sling shot. They invited the other den's to come on over for some acorn slinging!! Each scout got their turn to try to hit a large wooden pallet that was about 100 feet away. When an acorn hit, it would explode and the crowd of scouts would go into an uproar of Awesome's! One scout even brought his Angry bird and launched it a few times.

Who needs video games! Life sized Angry Bird slingshot!

Later that evening the pack converged at the Dan Beard cabin for a fire ceremony where the belly's would be warmed by hot chocolate and smores while being entertained by various skits that each den had worked on throughout the day. There was also some rumors going on about some haunting tales being told at Flint Ridge. The fire ceremony concluded after a long fun day and it didn't take long for all of camp to fall silent.

The scouts woke up to a drizzly morning and had a Scouts' own service followed by the closing ceremony. After some packing up, Fall camp was officially in the books. Another great weekend of fun and activities!

Pack 115 would like to give thanks to all the volunteers that helped through out the weekend. And a special thanks to the behind the scenes team of Webelos and Bear den leaders that put together the plans and paperwork to make Fall Camp happen.
