Boy Scout Troop 697
Chandler, Arizona
Usery Mountain Campout
January 2002
 |
| What do you get when you mix 3 Boy Scout Troops and 4 Webelos Cub Scout Patrols and a bunch of great leaders and parents?? A TERRIFIC TIME! |
|
| This was our chance to show the Cub Scouts how much fun it is to be a Boy Scout! The day was filled with activities, from knife and ax skills, archery, hiking, knot tying, orienteering, great food, a great campfire and too much fun! |
|
|
| Some of us even snuck away and found a Geocache on top of Usery Mountain! |
|
|
 |
| And our chance to show what great cooks we are! Troop 697 hosted dinner for all 80 Scouts - Spaghetti and meatballs, salad and garlic bread! And do our leaders know how to show off? Baked salmon, sauteed vegetables, salad, and garlic bread. |
|
| And after dinner - a Dutch oven cobbler contest and a campfire - complete with stories, jokes, and songs! |
 |
| The Presiding Cobbler Judges |
|
| Tell a joke - get a marshmallow |  |
|
 |
| After the closing ceremony on Sunday we packed up for home, taking with us memories of new friends and skills. |
