Spending a week at Rodney Scout Camp was the ultimate adventure. We spent our days living outdoors without phones, allowing us to tackle exciting challenges and merit badges like swimming, boating, shooting, climbing, and so much more. Many scouts brought their bikes, which was a lot of fun. New scouts did great and built  independence and bonds with the troop through games, campfires, and shared memories. It was a highly successful week: the troop earned Honor Troop, a perfect 100% clean camp score, 105 merit badges, and four rank advancements. The camp hosted seven first-year scouts and three Eagle scouts, while Mr. Kelly led from the front by completing the mile swim. Between the hard work, everyone enjoyed 30 care packages, 4 gallons of coffee, and a whopping 87 pints of ice cream (per Mr. Larison’s calculations).  The week ended with a campfire show in which members of our troop did an epic skit.
