Camp Bud Schiele – Yet Another Friday Update
Wow! It is practically over! The Friday night campfire is over, and while Troop 108 didn’t rock every award, we came away with some pretty significant awards:
- 3rd Place – Troop Shield
- 1st Place – Troop Campsite Gateway
- 2nd Place – Scoutmaster Cobbler Cookoff
Additionally, we brought home the spirit stick that we won and had to give up earlier in the week! We’ll be bringing that puppy home to show off and then put in our troop glass display case.
Our guys completed a total of 80 merit badges and had 43 partial merit badge completions that will need to be completed at a later time (for a total of 123) and of the total, 31 of the merit badges were Eagle Required. We also had guys to earn 5 Tote-N-Chit and and 6 Fire-Man-Chit cards showing that they know how to handle knives, axes, saws and have knowledge of fire safety.
The leaders are so proud of our guys. They were real troopers in the heat that we had this week. Later in there week there was more whining going on, but we asked Scoutmaster Harllee to cut it out.
Thank you for the opportunity to spend a week with our scouts at camp and seeing each of them grow and mature and gain ground on the Eagle Scout. We are all better for the experience.
Be ready for a call from your scout when we are about 30 to 40 minutes away from home tomorrow. We hope all of you will be able to be on time for pickup so our leaders can return to their families as soon after arriving in Fort Mill as possible.
