This summer eight boys from Pack 200 were paired up with four boys from Franklin for a full week of "Space Camp"
training. Each day the boys practiced their shooting skills (BB gun
and Archery), swimming, sporting events (kickball, volleyball, soccer,
and ultimate frisbee), nature classes (small hikes), and crafts (rocket
launching and balloon car racing to name a few). Each day also started
with an opening flag cermony and a closing cermony going over lessons
learned for the day. The last day ended with a camp fire and cookout
for all camp attendees and invited family members. Our boys performed a
song followed with space themed jokes that they each came up with on
their own at the camp fire. Each was then awarded a certificate
certifying them as official astrounaut candidates. Next year will be at
the same location but with a different theme. Please speak with Bob
Williams or John O'Connell if you have any questions about scouting
camp. |
