SUMMER CAMP 2024 - S-F CAMP GAMBLE - DAY 6

Posted on Jun 28 2024 - 11:54pm
SummerCamp

Message:

We are on the home stretch now!!!  This morning, everyone was slow to rise, but
we still made it flags by 6:30 am.  Our OA Scouts made it back in time for
breakfast and they all seemed to have a good night on their OA campout!  Today
was a make up day for merit badges and there was also some Eagle required merit
badges offered today.  This afternoon we got the Scouts slushies at the trading
post, which they enjoyed.  Our swamped canoe Scouts from our Out & About were
also the two Scouts that did the Mile Swim… congrats Marcus & Will for going the
extra mile… pun intended!  After our last cooked dinner we were able to pack up
our Patrol Boxes and stoves, which will help us break camp tomorrow!  This
evening was the closing campfire program, which we enjoyed, and the boys had raw
s’mores afterward, which they didn’t mind.  We held elections for Senior Patrol
Leader and Patrol Leaders for our two Patrols and their terms will start after
camp.  Marcus Ochs ran unopposed for Senior Patrol Leader and he selected Mark
Dahlgren as his Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.  Our Patrol Leaders are Carson
Foster (for his second term) and Madhav Devapal.  Thanks to all the Scouts that
put their name in the hat for a Patrol Leader position as there were many
qualified candidates the Scouts had to vote on!  I’m also proud to announce that
Daniel Menefee earned his Eagle rank this past Wednesday… congrats Daniel on a
job well done and we hope you’ll still visit our Troop even after you turn 18! 
As far as our departure tomorrow morning goes, we hope to get on the road as
soon as we can and we’ll get a text/phone call out when we hit the road so you
all can plan accordingly to pick up your hopefully not to smelly Scouts at
Salem… but no promises on the quality of their fragrance! 

I’ve been impressed how each Patrol worked together to get their meals cooked,
using the buddy system to get to classes, and just the overall energy of the
Troop.  We’ve got a bright future and I’m looking forward to the journey!  I’d
also like to give a huge shout out of gratitude to Kristin & Nick for all the
Scout camp pre-planning and registration work as well as Shane, Mike, and Keith
for spending time with me at camp with our Scouts where the rubber really meets
the road in the lives of Scouts.  It’s folks like these that make my job easier.
This is truly the case where many hands make light work and I appreciate all
they’ve done to help our Scouts have a great experience here at camp!

SUMMER CAMP 2024 - S-F CAMP GAMBLE - DAY 5

Message:

We started the day a bit earlier today since we had Order of the Arrow (OA)
elections this morning during breakfast.  Madhav, Mark, and Will all had rock
climbing and repelling today and liked it so much, they asked if we could do a
Troop meeting at Upper Limits to complete the Climbing merit badge!  During
lunch today we had a visitor…. See if you can spot our guest in the photo! 
Before I tell you about the OA activities this evening, I completely forgot to
add a detail about our out and about canoe trip on Nim’s Lake yesterday…. Will
and Marcus swamped their canoe!  Mike Ambrose and I had to do a canoe to canoe
rescue in the middle of Nim’s Lake to get them back on the water!  This evening
was the OA call out ceremony and the Scouts would like to thank their families
for coming out and sorry I missed seeing some of you!  Thanks to Jennifer
Brinker for bringing some cool treats too!  Eddie Ambrose, Aidan Christian,
Madhav Devapal, and Colin McGrail all got voted into the OA.  Eddie, Aidan, and
Madhav are spending the night out tonight, and just like our Wilderness Survival
trio last night, we’ll see them back from the trail in the morning!  They will
all have the opportunity to complete their OA Ordeal at the Fall Reunion this
year, which is my most favorite camping trip each year!

Tomorrow we will be finishing merit badges at merit badge make up day and
starting some new Eagle required merit badges.  We will also hold Troop
elections for Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) and Patrol Leaders (PL).  We’ll also
start getting packed up for the drive home on Saturday!

SUMMER CAMP 2024 - S-F CAMP GAMBLE - DAY 4

Posted on Jun 27 2024 - 10:07am

Message:

Hello!!  Had some nice rain overnight, enough to get most of our hammock campers
a bit wet.  The morning was nice and we said farewell to Shane Bruder and
thanked him for joining us at camp.  His departure was accompanied by the
departure of the decent morning weather we had and it started raining… all… day…
long… or at least until Keith Voss arrived to bring my raincoat, which meant
that the sun came out the rest of the day.  Marcus and Mark completed one of the
more difficult requirements for their lifesaving merit badge today at their
class during a break in the rain.  Will and Ethan also got their Kung Fu Panda
on their Art Merit Badge today!  Eventually all the hammocks got to dry out too
with the sun. However due to all the rain, the Scouts got to play in the natural
slip and slide created at camp and Ethan just slipped without the slide and got
a gash in his knee, which Keith got to head into town with Ethan for a trip to
Urgent Care.  Ethan survived!  As the day was winding down, Carson asked, “Who
is growling?”  Glad Keith made it to camp to drown out my “growling”!  Also this
evening Peyton, Aidan, and Evan all slept out for their Wilderness Survival
overnight.  No rain is in the forecast so it will be a much better night than it
would have been last night!  Looking ahead, tomorrow morning is our Order of the
Arrow (OA) elections and tomorrow night is Family Night and OA callout!  If
anyone is considering coming to camp, you can arrive as early as 5 pm, but would
suggest arriving closer to 6 pm or even a bit later.

SUMMER CAMP 2024 - S-F CAMP GAMBLE -DAY 3

Message:

We enjoyed French toast for breakfast, bacon chicken ranch wraps for lunch and
taco Tuesday for dinner and I could see both patrols getting the patrol cooking
figured out a bit better than yesterday.  With any luck by the end of the week
they will be performing well as a patrol cooking meals so Will won’t have to eat
cheez-it’s and syrup again!  Speaking of Will, he completed his horsemanship
merit badge today so he is the first to get a merit badge wrapped up this week!
At 4 pm today we  went to Huck’s Cove, which is the water park area.  The scouts
got a ride in the  pontoon boat over, which they enjoyed.  Today I had
Scoutmaster conferences with both Anna Fadlovich and Marcus Ochs, both only
needing their Board of Review for their Life Rank… wink, wink, nudge, nudge!  I
also got pictures of our three girls from the Girls’ Troop working at camp… Anna
at Camp Gamble in concessions, Jessie Ford working with the Wayfinder group at
Gamble, and Izzy working at the trading post at Famous Eagle!  We got rain this
evening and Aidan, Carson, and Madhav retrieved the colors in the rain with
guidance from Mike Ambrose.  Due to the rain our Wilderness Survival Scouts will
be doing their overnight tomorrow night.  As I’m typing this the rain is coming
down pretty steadily so hoping everyone stays dry tonight! 

Tomorrow is out canoe out and about on the lake, which is also a memorable
experience for the Scouts!

Message:

The day started out just like any other day… except there were chariot races! 
We made breakfast this morning, which tasted quite well for the time it took to
make… glad we weren’t cooking over charcoal!  The Scouts attended their merit
badge classes and Will got a lot of horseback riding in today!  We had easy
lunches to make (sub sandwiches) and then more afternoon merit badge classes!
