Fall Fellowship 2010

Fall Fellowship at Camp Raven Knob was a great success. A great turnout, election of Lodge and Chapter offices,patch trading,tasty food(and lots of it), and loads of fun. Troop 934 had three of its Scouts elected to office for the Elauwit Chapter. Andy was elected VCA (Vice Chief of Administration), Philip was elected to VCECA (Vice Chief of Elections and Camping Activities), and David is the new VCP (Vice Chief of Publication). Congratulations!

Creeper Trail BikeTrip

What could be better than a 17 mile downhill bike ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail? Not anything our intrepid Scouts could think of. It is a beautiful ride that starts at Whitetop and ends in Damascus. We then had the opportunity to play in Beartree Lake, and this gave us a chance to reinforce the "Buddy System". The food was great with wonderful cobblers by Ricki, tasty bacon by Justin and Kyle, and fluffy pancakes courtesy of Philip and Steven. Our new SPL Evan helped to make this a very successful adventure.

Boogerman 2010

A split shakedown hike in the Great Smokies on a double loop trail. I insisted that we had to do the Boogerman Trail (I loved the name). A very pretty area and if I have time I'll write about my encounter with Momma and Baby Bear. Enjoy the pictures.
