Pow Wow

Last weekend Ed took 4 boys to the 2nd Annual Colby Merit Badge Pow Wow. This is an event where the Boy Scouts campout overnight and the following day work on Merit Badges to help them advance in scouting. The boys got up at 6:15 am to start breakfast. They cooked pancakes and sausage. You can tell from the photo that they are a little tired. I do not know if it was because of two of the boys talking most of the night or the 5 hours of rain overnight!

Quenton (the one on the right), who is the Sr. Patrol Leader, ended up earning Vetrinary Medicine, Astronomy and Weather. In the afternoon Ed taught Geocaching to 25 scouts plus leaders. The boys also had the opportunity to take part in Elk Calling, Flint knapping and swimming. In the evening they got to watch a movie and then had a campfire and a boy scout troop performed Indian dances in full regalia. Notice the new tents the boys got! They received 6 of them through donations!
