What a great overnight. The Scouts and Leaders that showed up will be earning a white coup for snow on an overnight. This coup has not been given out in a few years. Did we have snow? Yes, before we went home Sunday, eleven inches of snow had fallen from Friday through Sunday morning. Four Webelos II attended the overnight.  Although this was a tough ‘first’ overnight, they all did a great job. It was a great experience which included a five mile urban hike. The scouts and leader made foil dinners (2-hamburger patties, sliced potatoes, carrots, green beans, corn, onion, tomato sauce and different spices) for their Saturday evening meal. After dinner we had several cups of hot chocolate and we played several rounds of hang man. Then it was off to our plastic shelter to go to bed. The shelter was built by the scouts and led by Mr. Humphrey, our newest adult leader.

On Sunday morning we got up and began our day with a cup of hot chocolate. Then it was off to cook bacon and eggs in a paper bag, boil a hardboiled egg in a paper cup and cook link sausage in foil. Overall we cooked 36 eggs, 2 pounds of bacon, 40 sausage links and 30 biscuits on sticks. It was a great breakfast.

What made this overnight great? The Scouts, Leaders and of course the snow. It is not every overnight you get to sleep out in the snow.
