Troop News: July 2
Thanks to the 27 scouts and 9 leaders who helped out with summer camp at Kreitenstien last week. The boys had a great time an overcame some challenges such as not having running water for drinking and for showers!
Camp Krietenstein is a smaller camp than our typical Camp Ransburg. This means a few fewer program offerings but program areas are closer together. Troop 183 was by far the largest troop in camp this past week (around 40 vs a total of perhaps 80 total campers). Scouts and leaders made some of these comments about camp:
- We enjoyed everything being closer together at a smaller camp
- It was frustrating that the Firecrafter area wasn’t organized and staffed like Ransburg
- Food was great!
- The flexibility of a smaller camp staff made us feel welcome and allowed some scouts to pick up merit badges during the week that they didn’t sign up for ahead of time.
- It was frustrating for things to be so hot and humid outside and the showers to be out!
- The humidity really made it hard for the Firecrafters to pop a spark!
Compliments to all the scouts at summer camp on great behavior at Golden Corral and throughout the week.
