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.
On May 28 the yearly Cuboree took place for Pack 123 at Camp Morrison. Our troop, 123, went up to help and have a great time with the younger boys. We played games, helped with kitchen duty, and did what we could to give the Pack a good time!
In April once again our troop headed out to a yearly Boy scout competition, Willow Creek. This is a big deal for us to go to and we always enjoy going and having a blast! Many troops come to compete and most of them are well prepared and have been getting ready for a long time. Our troop split into two different patrols. Neither placed but we sure did have a great time!
Boy Scout Troop 123 is sponsored by All Saints Episcopal Church. We are thankful for their sponsorship and the opportunites to help with dinners and other events.
