Troop 20 sent two top notch patrols to the Etiwan District camporee this weekend at Camp Ho Non Wah. They were enthusiastic and worked hard all weekend. They quickly showed their scout skills as we set up camp in a very quick fashion in the dark on Friday evening after our arrival at Matigwa campsite. The bad weather from last week had cleared during the day and the stars on Friday night were amazing. In the darker skies over Wadmalaw Island the Milky Way, Great Andromeda Galaxy and other star clusters were easily seen with bare eyes and we had a inpromtu astronomy class from 9:40 to 10:15 PM.
Our scouts were up before 7 AM on Saturday morning and ready for breakfast and competition to display their scout skills. Competition periods were from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM and from 1:30 PM to 4 PM and the events consisted of the following: Knot Tying Relay, Chariot Race (A-Frame),Tent Pitching, Search and Rescue (First Aid), Fire Building, Flag Pole Raising, Kim’s Game, Color Guard Competition, Dessert Contest, Camp Inspection, Scout Spirit,and Campfire Skits.
The below results show the results of that work:
