Summer Camp
We spent a great week at Camp Old Indian. The weather was great; the staff was very well prepared and enthusiastic. The 12 boys who attended camp completed 31 merit badges. We shared our camp site with Troop 15 again this year. It was crowded but very manageable. Maybe we will see them again next year. Thanks to all the adults that helped out with the leadership but a special thank you to Steve Morrison who spent the whole week at Camp.

Spring Camporee
In April we went to the National Guard Station in Fountain Inn. There were a lot of activities including fishing, physical fitness, compass and map reading, orienteering and first aid. There was a great campfire program with very creative skits and Troop 707 won third in the knot relay. By the way the grilled chicken, beans and potatoes were really good for dinner.
