On a chilly Friday night we all departed out to Boxwell for our second annual highland games. After breakfast on Saturday we began our ‘’ scouty games ‘’. Which consisted of an orienteering course, lashing projects, obstacle courses, and Scottish relay races.

After the games we had a delicious dinner of red beans & rice with sausage and cornbread. And after dinner we had our dutch oven dessert contest which the whistlepigz won.
Then we had a wonderful campfire ceremony, directed by George. And finally we had our Scottish highland games.

Our events were the keg toss, the hammer throw, the stone throw, the caber toss, and a game of tug of war. our overall highland game winners by patrol were Franky, Gabe, and Lubos, and the Scottish spirit award went to Cooper. Todd got the win for the adults. The games were lots of fun and are a tradition we should keep.

This trip was a success. For their first troop structured trip the new honey badgers did a great job, and as a whole this was one of the most successful trip. on a warm humid Friday night we arrived at Rock island. When we got there we set up camp and had cracker barrel. On Saturday we split up into our groups and got into our kayaks. My group went to Rock island first , where we did our capsize drills.

There we got really cold, because the water was warm and the air was chilly. Later, the sun came out and we had lunch. After lunch, we got back into the water and had a game of kayak tag. Then we all met up and did our little river trip.

The next day we had a quick breakfast and went off to the waterfall for some swimming and rock hopping.

That was awesome!
