Safe Return From Camp Daniel Boone

Everyone is back home safe from summer camp with a trunk full of memories.  Smokin Pig, Rock Beavers, rafting, slippery trout, rainy mornings, latrine shenanigans, Mast General Store and OC's BBQ, football on the green, "no refunds, no returns", funny people up there at Boonesboro, Hoody's Spicy Hot, kiosk roofs, scoutmaster lounge network wiring, "The Keep", "The Junior Keep", 4am thunder storms, 914David, waiting in line at the dining hall and almost no cell service :-)

It was a great week.  The Scouts of Troop 720 are the best!

Getting ready for Camp Daniel Boone

Summer Camp is almost here.  Scouts should be reviewing their packing list and preparing their duffel bags.

1.  Remember to put a large trash bag INSIDE your duffel bag and fold it over several times after you are finished packing it.  Most duffel bags will be outside all day Saturday in the trucks.
2.  Bring those closed-toed water shoes for the Nantahala Raft Trip.  We're going to have more fun than a barrel of trout!
3.  Take a look at the Merit Badge requirements for the Merit Badges that you signed up for at www.meritbadge.org.

Smokin' Pig here we come.  Yeehaw!

The Webelos are coming! The Webelos are coming!

A Webelos Den is going to visit Troop 720 during the June 7th meeting.  The patrols have volunteered to each teach a Scout Skill.  Check with your Patrol Leader to see what your patrol will be teaching.  There is also a Troop Committee Meeting that evening.
