September Campout

Troop 156 camped at Sam Parr State Park this past weekend. We were asked to provide the color guard for the Fall Festival parade since the boys did an excellent job for the Strawberryfest parade in the Spring. Good job Scouts! The troop then returned to Sam Parr and relaxed and enjoyed a easy lunch. Later in the afternoon we took the troop back into town to volunteer for the Chamber's homemade ice cream booth. We had a few too many boys for the number of customers that we had but everyone helped and had a great time! Unfortunately a storm brewed up unexpectedly and we had to cancel the remainder of the campout. But we were able to get everyone home safely and almost dry! At our troop meeting last night the Scouts put up the tents that were taken to dry and reloaded the troop trailer a bit neater than when it left Sam Parr. The Chamber surprised us yesterday by letting us know that had homemade ice cream left and we were able to enjoy a snack at the end of the meeting. Thank you Lisa!
