Boy Scout Troop 85: 2009

Been a Looooong time

I apologize for not posting for so long. It has been a very busy Autumn and I have not had many pictures to post. We just returned from a fun weekend of camping in the cabins at Camp Wokanda, and will be posting a few photos once we get them rounded up. The boys had a good time, sledding(mostly on leaves), although we didn't have too much snow. Our Christmas party was very nice, and we even had a Christmas Tree( Cedar tree branch)! Thanks go out especially to our Scoutmaster, Phil, for putting on a great Christmas party..... and also to our Assistant Scoutmaster Jeff Bohnker- who was officially "initiated" into his role of "Adult Leadership" as he helped watch over 10 scouts (several of which were on their first campout with the Troop!).....
When you see Jeff, be sure to ask him about "Pulp-Free Orange Juice"...... and the hazards of burning stuffed unicorns : )

Also- I will try to post summer camp pics soon too!

Flag Ceremony at Blessed Sacrament Church

On April 25th, we had a great opportunity to work alongside Troop 178 and help out with a flag ceremony at Blessed Sacrament in Morton. Logan and 3 scouts from 178 did a great job with lowering and folding the flag. Here are a few pics:

Pirates Invade Pathways 2009!

We had a great time entertaining the Cub Scouts at Pathways this year with our pirate demonstration. Caleb & Andrew taught the scouts how to tie knots, Logan, Tanner, and Colton talked about pirate life &passed out hard tack, Zack and Chance talked about pirate punishment! All in all, it was a fun day and the weather was great!
