Raccoon Mountain Caving

What do you get when you mix two man crosscut saws, battle axes, go-carts, and oh by the way a challenging overnight BACKPACKING trek through the number one cave in the southeast? Really muddy scouts and really tired adult leaders. During the weekend, we were joined by local Webelos from Pack 419 and Pack 297 who were super strong. Just for fun, the boys build the longest monkey bridge in Troop 8 history... not a bad way to practice working together.

Boxwell Summer Camp 2011

DJ led the troop to Craig Campsite 6 for another great summer camp. With a great mixture of new and experienced scouts (as well as a few seasoned adult leaders), a good time was had by all. Troop 8 won the Dodgeball championship as well as Staff Hunt... but a lot more was gained once again by the boys.

Boxwell Summer Camp 2011 - Part 2

This year's summer camp was notable for the cool(ish) weather, cooler first year scouts, and a record number of COPE scouts with ice water in their veins.
