| Dr. D
introduced the "Survivor" game and laid down the ground rules. |
 |
|
 |
The primary
goal is to burn the string thus releasing the flag. |
| Round 1: the
older scouts... Step 1: build a good strong fire in
the fire pit using the materials provided.
David and Josh just getting started with their fire. |
 |
|
 |
Step 2: once
you have a good strong fire, retrieve water from the 5 gallon
bucket 15 feet away and pour it into your leaky water
reservoir. |
| When you have
sufficient water weight in your reservoir the fire pit will
rise moving the fire close enough to the string to catch it on
fire. Keep adding water to the reservoir to hold the fire pit
in position or your fire pit will drop removing the heat from
the string. |

After 12
minutes and 48 seconds a tired Mack wins first place! |
| After Bryan
completed his task all he could do was collapse from
exhaustion. |
 |
|
 |
Round 2: the
younger scouts... |
| Austin, the
youngest scout, takes first place in round two.
Congratulations! |
 |
|
 |
Andy finally
builds the perfect fire and after only a few trips to the
water bucket, the string burned through and his flag was
released. |
| Blaine has a
good strong fire and his fire pit in place...it's only a few
seconds before his flag is also released! |

Before going
home after a great weekend of fun, we spent a few minutes
playing Mr. Thames favorite campout game "Holey Board."
A special "Thank You" to the Thames family for allowing us
to use your property for this campout. |
