Memorial Day weekend Troop 123 drove up to McCall for Pack 123's CubORee. Our Troop welcomed four new scouts. These new scouts will learn great skills as a boy scout and if they work hard they will eventually earn their Eagle rank. All together our Troop had a great time and can't wait to go again next year!
Last week, Troop 123 drove out to Miracle Hotsprings near Haggerman. We had a great time swimming, cooking, fishing, and sitting around the camp fire. We stayed in a huge yurt-like dome with a large window on the side. While we were there, we retired a few old flags that were in need of retiring. We had alot of fun and enjoyed our time there.
Last week our troop got out the old canoes and hauled them out to Quinn's pond. Having fun and working on the merit badge, our troop had a blast!

Every summer our troop goes to a scout camp, this year we went to Camp Morrison in McCall. Camp Morrison is one of our favorite camps. Despite the mosquitoes we had a great time. At camp there were games and a race that was called the Bull Run. We did really well in the race. All together we got the most points of all the troops, winning the Bull of the Woods award (shown below). Everyone in the troop did a great job earning a lot of merit badges during our week at camp. And working hard for that award.
On June 18th our troop drove up to Bruneau Sand Dunes. We had a great time besides getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. In the morning we hiked up one of the big dunes. That took us about an hour, it only took us about 20 seconds to run down it from the top. Besides the bugs we had a great time.
