Twilight Camp redux

Twilight Camp was a success.  The Friday Webelos overnighter was also a huge success.  Ryan did a fantastic job and received quite a few compliments (we even received our very first comment to the blog concerning his handling of the campfire program).  There were around 40 Webelos scouts and their guardians that camped overnight.  We were able to have the BB gun range open on Saturday morning so these boys were able to have it all to themselves.  If you were there, thanks.

District Twilight Camp

I have been working(?) at Twilight Camp all week.  Working is really a stretch.  I've handled the MC chores and smiled alot as I tell various adults you can't park there, or park like that, or you need to wear this to prove you're supposed to be here.  Tonight is the Webelos overnighter and Ryan is in charge of the campfire.  He's been working on skits with the dens and also compiling a list of filler skits/songs so we have a good campfire program.  We'll be retiring a flag at the close of the program, so that will hopefully prove to be a special moment for the Webelos in attendance.

One more month of craziness, then we slow down and can breathe.

The month of May is the last of the craziness.  Things will settle down after that.  We do have something planned on all but one weekend for the month of May.  Our outing is a campout to Yuba Gap the weekend of May 21-23 and a decision on your attendance is needed pretty quickly.  The deadline to sign up is May 10th.

We have community service projects on May 13, 14 and 15 (Rio Linda Farm Days), another one on May 14th (help out at an Eagle project to paint crosses) and May 29th (place those crosses).  There is the parade on May 31st.  These will only last a few hours each, but we do need your help to make them successful.

There is actually something planned on that lone weekend, but it isn't a troop activity.  The Pioneer District is having their annual District Awards dinner on May 8th.  I hope that you can be available to attend this.  It will be fun and will allow you to show your thanks for all of those adults that volunteer their time to our kids.

These are also listed in our calendar to the lower right of these posts, but here they are in another form.  I'm only going to mention those a couple weeks out:
