More from Camp Loll

Computers are computers and sometimes things don't get transferred smoothly....Stu was finally able to relay some verbiage written by some of the UK scouts (and some more pictures thanks to Stu), so here you go...

Got up early at 4:30 am in order to leave for Camp Loll on the border of West Yellowstone and the Tetons. We arrived at about 11:30 am after a long journey, although we did watch Kung Fu Panda in Tom’s car video player.

We set up the tents, although Dan forgot ours, so we had to borrow from one from Omar, one of the Troop 1 leaders. We had a Swim Check in the ice cold lake but it was so cold, none of us are going back there! We then had to make merit badge choices.

We had dinner (beef stew) which looked like dog/cat food. We then had a camp flag ceremony which involved a lot of singing before having a camp fire.

Today we woke up at 6:30 am to have a lovely breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Then we had to get ready for an inspection. At the inspection we got a bead for our leather patches for being at the opening campfire. After that, we had to go to the flag break. Straight after we were told to go to our merit badges, some of our group went to the ACE activities (ACE stands for Advance Camper Experience).

In my first class, we learned Wilderness Survival. On the next class, I did Small Boat Sailing. We learned the parts of the boats and how to change sails. We had a bad thing happen as the instructor tipped the boat over by accident. We got rescued in the motor boat and got to the dock safely. After that, I had to cook lunch that was grilled cheese sandwiches. They were nice! After lunch, we had free time where me and Fred made a new sign for our campsite with wood and leather. We have earned our white bead! After dinner, we had our English colours down.
