Bad Pictures!

Well, I discovered during this campout that my camera is not working and will therefore be finding its way to the kids' toy box. But here are the pictures that I took over the weekend. Maybe you can recognize yourself at least. Bro. Iund also took some pictures, so as soon as I get copies of those I'll get them up as well! Hope you're all showered and smelling a little better!

Klondike Time!

This is a little bit late, but hopefully you will all be able to get this message in one way or another. We will be meeting at the church to leave for the Klondike tomorrow, Jan 30th at 5:00 pm. You need to arrange for your ride to come and pick you up at the church on Saturday at 6:00 pm.

Some of the items that you need to bring with you:
  • Dinner for Friday night
  • Breakfast for Saturday morning
  • A can of chili or stew for lunch Saturday
  • We will not be doing dinner, so bring snacks if you don't think you can wait until you get home
  • Snow boots (you will not be allowed to wear tennis shoes for the race)
  • PLEASE dress warm and bring warm sleeping bags, etc. We won't have extra if you don't prepare.
  • Check your list of items that each scout needs to bring that was handed out (including scout shirt with a neckerchief, canteen with water, and mess kit).
I'm really excited about this. We're going to have a great time. Winter camping is a lot of fun if you are well-prepared.

Klondike Prep

Scouts has been canceled today to allow us more time to work on our sun tans in preparation for the up coming Klondike Derby. We will resume preparing for the Klondike on January 28th with lashings and testing the new wheels on the sled. In the meantime you may want to gather your gear for the Klondike to make sure you have the necessary items for winter camping. If you have questions about what to bring or not to bring please ask.
