Troop 114 at Camp Wanocksett

Post date: Jul 8, 2013 7:04:49 PM

We had a very successful week at Camp Wanocksett. The troop earned the coveted Golden Broom, awarded daily for the tidiest campsite, not just once but twice, with the high honor of bringing it home at the end of the week. We also had the dubitable distinction of the Golden Band-Aid, awarded to the troop most frequently sighted at the health lodge (nothing big, but effects of the warm humid weather, skeeters, minor scrapes and a charlie horse kept the nurses occupied).

We practiced the patrol method by forming provisional patrols, which competed throughout the week for recognition beads.
