Last weekend four of our den members attended Webelos Woods
with Troop 267. They are based in
Hempfield. Webelos Woods is a two-night camping trip. We had a lot of fun.
We
slept in tiny two-man tents and the adults slept in the adult part of the camping
area. The boy scouts made the food and the parents ate other things that the
parents made. The boy scouts and
cub scouts could only have parent food if there was extra. We liked the boy
scout food though. We ate hot dogs for lunch and at breakfast we had chocolate
chip pancakes and for dinner we made foil packs.
While it was still light out,
we did different activities. We divided into groups and did fire building,
first aid – the guy who “broke his leg” was really funny!, knot tying, and
cooking. At cooking, we stuffed chocolate chips into bananas and roasted them
on the campfire. YUM! We also made survival bracelets out of rope. We had a
really good time.
I thought the boys were funny. At the end of the first night,
we went into a big grassy area to play games in the dark. We played Ghosts in
the Graveyard and Manhunt until people got hurt falling on spiky chestnut
shells. Then we went back and ate more snacks – called Cracker Barrel. Soon it
was time for bed. I had a very good time at Webelos Woods!
