Troop 8 at Philmont

There's nothing like Philmont. Two crews of Troop 8 scouts trekked across Baldy, Phillips, Black, Tooth of Time and more on Scouting's 100 anniversary. We ran into Alex's former troop from Mass. and even ran into each other as we hiked past Cypher's Mine. We'll remember snowball fights in July, hailstorms on the summits, mini-bear attacks, real bear sightings, and Lt. Steve Dangle forever. With literally thousands of breathtaking alpine photos from the adults, here's a sample that involve sweaty, hardcore teenagers.

Boxwell Summer Camp 2010 - Part 2

Now that Camp Craig Campsite #6 seems like home away from home, it seems totally normal to dance around the campfire like indian braves, climb the trees like Tarzan, shoot black powder rifles, and let the staff surround you and scream Happy Birthday to you. We also let the parents come enjoy the dining hall food, but they missed the Pokemon Arena wars. Maybe next year...

Boxwell Summer Camp 2010

Troop 8 descended upon Craig Site #6 again this year with over 60 happy campers. Dodgeball, catching fish, COPE and high ropes climbing, cornhole, Presidents, unlimited icees, the Iceberg, and Staff Hunt kept getting in the way of Greenbar and merit badges. They arrive at camp boys; they leave camp suntanned, tired boys. With a lot of new personal accomplishments.
