camporee



A week end ago (10/24) was a regional camporee. The boys were given the assignment of building a tower... in 2 hours. Due to information not getting to us Roger spent the 3 weeks before it getting the wood together. The boys met at our house or one other house and spent hours Saturdays and Tuesday evenings cutting logs to the right measurements. After teaching the boys how to lash in Scout meetings Roger and the other adults stepped back and let the boys do it. (The other troops had the leaders leading the work; here Jeffrey was in charge; the way a scout troop is supposed to work.)
The finshed tower is in video format and, as computer savvy as you know I am, I haven't figured that out yet.
