June 3-5 CAMP-OUT!

Well, that Junior Troop did not make the camp-out but, THREE Cadette Troops did! Our troop - 1126, Troop 1576 - who was with us on our last camp-out and Troop 32 form Capo Valley - their first time tent camping!  
It was SO much fun meeting new friends 
- cooking on Charcoals 
- making DUMP CAKES 


- the Black Forest Cherry Cake is definitely the favorite.  


Dutch Ovens and Box Ovens are truly amazing pieces of camping gear.  Next time - I want to try CHICKEN! 
Each troop shared a craft or project - we shared Wire Pant Hanger Cooking Skewers - which we used for the dinner (and S'mores - we also gave the first time campers "John Wayne" can openers to take with them, to always Be Prepared (and to never be without a can opener) plus a Whisk Broom for their tent.


The birds woke me up each morning around 5:30 - WOW are they loud! SO many different species too.  Phoebes, Acorn Woodpeckers, Flickers, CROWS, Ducks?! Red-Shouldered Hawks and one I couldn't recognize - maybe a Whip-poor-will? 


It was a great weekend!
