The Troop met at the church on Saturday morning and loaded our troop bus and off we went to Watkins Mills. This was going to be a new experience for the troop because none of us have been to Watkins Mill to camp. I am looking forward to going to Watkins Mill and to going fishing. The trip was not very long. Once at the campsite we set up camp.

Then it was off to the lake to go fishing. The weather was great.

We had a couple of scouts who thought it may be fun to get close to the worms we were using for bait.

When we returned to the campsite it was time for dinner spaghetti, meat sauce, meatballs and caesar salad

After dinner the patrols practiced their campfire skits, songs and jokes. Then it was time for our troop campfire.

We had a great campfire. All the patrols did a great job.

After the campfire we were treated to cobblers baked in dutch ovens.

Then it was time for bed. We were all ready to go to bed as we were going to lose one hour of sleep due to springing forward for daylight savings time.

It was a very chilly night. But I believe all the scouts and leaders sleep very well. I am looking forward to breakfast biscuits and gravy. While breakfast was being prepared we started breaking camp.

It’s a lot more fun setting up camp. It’s time to eat breakfast.

After breakfast we finished packing up our tents and troop equipment into our troop trailer. Then it was time for church. Our troop has a church service every overnight. Then it was time to head for home.

I can not wait till our next overnight in April.
