The Troop’s October camp was at the Byzantine Monastery. We enjoyed a weekend of fall camping. Friday we set up camp in the upper field. The senior patrol leader organized the troop and made a plan for set up. After the dining fly was up and tents were up, we had a snack while sitting by the fire. Some of the boys played cards while others played games. Next morning, the troop arose at 7:00 AM and the campgrounds became busy with the hustle and bustle of fixing breakfast. Once breakfast had been served, the senior patrol leader explained what the day’s activities were going to be. The troop was to help Ryan on his Eagle Scout project. We were to clear dirt in front of a cabin, set down stone for a walk to the road and wood shed. All the materials were prearranged and set to go. We worked hard until lunch. After the lunch break, the troop went back to work, moving the rest of the dirt and setting stone. The walk was completed to the road, however, more work was needed to complete the walk to the woodshed. The afternoon went by swiftly and we were all tired and hungry. The patrols were organized and went after their tasks to make dinner. The chicken stir-fry with green beans and garlic bread was served and the patrols dug in. Before the onset of darkness, the dishes were cleaned and the tables wiped down. The rest of the early night went by with the boys playing cards and telling campfire stories. As the stories were told, we enjoyed many hobo pies under the starlit night. Sunday morning arrived and the troop packed-up camp. At times it rained, causing the tents and the equipment to get wet. Everything was finally packed and scouts headed for the Old Church where they unpacked. Afterwards, the troop said a prayer and departed for home. Overall, everyone enjoyed themselves and had a splendid time. Enjoying the weekend of camping were Justin, Chris, Kevin, Jacob D., Kurtis, Steven, Matthew M., Joe K., John V., Don, Ryan, Joe P., Kyle, Joe J., Mr. Kancyan, Mr. Makowski, Mr. Mayher and Mr. Svihlik.
