It was a terrific overnight at Landahl Park. I think every boy young and old had a great time! With so much to do and the perfect weather, who wouldn’t? Exciting patrol events included a rope bridge, an obstacle course, hatchet throwing, shelter building, and a "burn the string" fire building contest. After the patrol events, the boys got to play in the park. "The Hill" was the main attraction. There was even geocaching with Mr. England.

There were many great meals prepared. All the patrols worked very well together from cooking to cleaning up. After dinner, some of the boys played football in the field until it was time to prepare for the evening campfire that was fun-filled with a lot of great songs and skits.

Did I mention that the weather was great? I don’t think it could have been any better for an overnight. There was even a breeze at night.

Thanks to all who attended. Everyone did a great job in making sure things went smoothly. I look forward to the next scouting event.
