Butte Creek 2006

This year at Butte Creek the Troop participated in various skill building exercises to help us get ready for Camporee. We also had the opportunity to perform a service project for the camp.

Opening ceremony...

This is an accuracy test...place a match in a hole on a stump so that the match is vertical. Gently swing a hatchet at the match with the intention of igniting the match on fire. Congratulations to CJ and Tyler, the only two in the entire group, adults included, to actually ignite the match.

Our service project was to spread gravel on the side of the road to fill in muddy areas.

These Dutch Ovens contain a delicious part of our breakfast, monkey brains (mini cinnamon rolls).

The Troop had the opportunity to properly retire several flags at our evening campfire.

Are we ready to go riding?

KC teaches us the basics...if there are any...

Here sits a couple of scouts ready for the ride.

More scouts leaving the barnyard.

The two hour tour has started. Wow, that sounds familiar.

CJ leading the heard...

We are stopped for a few minutes to give the horses a rest. Notice the snow lying around. Coooooold...
