Scouts BSA Troop 1123

Patterns in the ice The girls had their second unofficial campout on the weekend of January 11-13, when they had the opportunity to hike through a frozen swamp, play disc golf, and do a lot of cooking -- both over the fire and with camp stoves. Saturday afternoon it started to snow, and by Sunday morning there were quite a few inches of snow on the ground. Fortunately we were all snug in cabins!

Our girls had a wet weekend on their first (unofficial) campout October 26-28 in the C&O Canal National Park . Not only did it rain for more than 24 consecutive hours, but it was also near freezing on Saturday night.  Despite all that, our youth had a great time camping, building fires, eating s'mores, and getting a chance to connect with Troop and Venture Crew 255 of Chevy Chase, MD. In a fabulous bit of serendipity, they were camping nearby and invited our girls to go learn about setting anchors for climbing.
