We try to go on 2 biking trips a year. Biking about an average of 20 miles.
We try to hiking a least once a year. We are walking maybe 15 miles on foot.
On this trip, we carry all the supplies we need for the trip in a backpack. We have tents, food, water, and cooking supplies in it. Normally this one is a two-day trip with about 8 miles a day.
This camp out is all about cooking. We cook a lot of meals during this campout. Through it we play different games to determine who gets a special ingredient for the final cooking where the winning teams chooses a secret ingredient then cooks jambalaya with it.
During this camp out we have different scouting events which the older boys compete in. Some of them are knot typing, fire building, setting up tents, orienteering, and tying a tie. The winner is the ranger.
During this campout we hold our elections for all of the jobs. We also play a game called cabin wars were we try to get the other team into our cabin.(Kind of like capture the flag.)
During the beginning of the summer, we try going to a faraway camp where we camp there for about a week doing different merit badge classes.
During Thanksgiving break, we try to go to a closer camp than Summer camp. However, we still go for a week doing different merit badge classes.
