Patrol Updates Beaver

Beavers started out strong on Sunday by earning the highly coveted tokens for reciting the B’s song and chant, and finishing the Totem. The last

day of the week was bittersweet, as the B’s said goodbye to the short-term team up with the owls (christened the mighty bowels). The B’s were all tied up doing knots in the morning, as

they prepare for the activities of the next session.

Bobwhite

Our bobwhite’s must have been so focused on their menu for next week they forgot to turn in their patrol report for day three. I will give them a pass since they invited me to eat a meal with them.. Obviously I am easily bought!!

As Eagles

Eagle

We have a great WILLiam (Corneli) We are loud, like we have a built in MIKE (Shanks) EVAN (Gillins) though we don’t. We love to joke and play games like Dig DOUGlas (Clark ).

But as scouts, we are taught to be kind and KURTIS (Bedford).

We are taking scouting to the next JENnifer (Kurt)

Fox

conquering all skills and obstacles with the Wood Badge Spirit. After a day of good instruction by to We began the day as the spirit patrol and led the the staff the clever foxes are off plan for the second half of thank you to our wonderful cooking staff for a hearty breakfast of champions. Then it was on to Wood Badge! See you all there!! assembly!

Foxes have melded into an effective patrol Owl

We started Sunday with a good breakfast, to getting the spirit stick. We attended the Interfaith worship service, pray for family and brotherhood of scouts, and learned about the friendship fund.

The Mighty Bowel’s Movements: “The Game of Life” spawned the creation of Patrol “ The Mighty Bowels”. Newly elected upper intestine Stacy Hamblin (of the owls) along with lower intestine Lee Harrison, (Beavers) held tight to their ideals the whole game. They had a hard time convincing the other patrols to go with the flow, Butt (sic) in the end finally got some movement. The game of life was eventually flushed around 9 pm, leaving all participants exhausted with strain.
