February 23-25 Cabin Camp-Out Wrap-Up
We had a fun weekend at BSA Camp Topenebee. Scout Chis Z (Some know him as Dr. Z!) oversaw meals for the Scouts and he did a great job. The Scouts ate well and were appreciative of his menu and cooking. We also had Scouts working on advancement – Louie and Brian both completed the rank of Tenderfoot while we were on the weekend. Chris Z moved closer to completing Geocaching merit badge by setting up a geocaching course for the crew and Louie made progress on First Aid merit badge with Mr. Mandelin.
