Scout Camp


Camp Napowan
This was Steve's 7th year to attend Napowan.  This time he was able to have 2 of his own boys with him.  Carter and his friend were given permission to go despite being young.

Carter got his rifle merit badge and was the very first person at camp to meet the requirements of 3 shots in the center.



Leather working

Loving being awakened for flags. :)

Imitating the "kraken" that dwells in the boating area. 

I love this contemplative look.

Evan's jumping in to save a life.

Intensely.

Canoeing

Camping

Small boat sailing

Swimming (yeah.  pretty easy for my fish.)

Jumping in with you clothes on to make a floatie out of your own apparell.

Evan got shot gun

Having fun hanging off the side of a mountain.


Metal working.

All in all, Carter got : rifle, swimming, canoeing, first aid, painting, leather working, totem chip, and advanced to 1st class
Evan got: shotgun, small boat sailing, metalworking, camping, cooking, wilderness survival, and lifesaving
Steve got: closure as he was leaving these boys whom he has loved and enjoyed and a nice bruise from running into a metal park bench while speedwalking home in the dark.  Nice.  There's still talk about going back with Carter for next year because it's such a well run program.  Time will tell.
