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.
