Cub Scout Camp

On Hyrum's birthday, our Cub Scout troop went to Camp Fife (a little over an hour north of us).  Hyrum has been so excited that he gets to now go to scouts, but to have his first experience be a day camp and on his birthday was so very exciting to him. 

 

I didn't need to go (because we had plenty of leaders already going) and wasn't asked to go but I really wanted to for Hyrum's sake.  I almost always go to the boy's camps and I didn't want Hyrum to go by himself on his first time.  But the day before, we found out that Brigham was going to get to go after all (This was his last Cub Scout Camp since technically he is a Boy Scout now.).  Still, I wanted to go for my boys.  It was exhausting but I really am glad that we went.

 They shot BB guns. 

 And their favorite, Archery.

Brigham got 2 bullseye in a row!



 They also had classes on rocks, the importance of our ecosystems, and survival skills. 

Watching Hyrum on the rock climbing wall was one of my favorites.  He doesn't have a lot of upper body strength yet and so this was real hard for him.  But the Boy Scout that was helping him put all his weight into it to lift Hyrum up so that he could have a chance to get to the top like all the other boys.  It was real sweet of him to do that.

 

There were other things that they did and it was a long day but I have to say that I heard very little complaining coming from our 11 boys that went.  I was really proud of them all.
