Troop Campout

Camp Highroad, Aldie, VA

11 - 13 April 2008

Our annual Scoutcraft campout to Highroad included a wide range of activities for new Scouts including no-match fire making and working with wood tools.  After a drenching rain on Friday evening the weather cooperated and we had an excellent opportunity to get advancement and merit badge requirements signed off.

Early morning and no rain!
