Ten of the eleven Scouts were able to attend. While the afternoon and evenings were used to have a lot of fun at camp, the mornings were used to work on advancement and earn merit badges. And boy oh boy, the Scouts did well with their advancement. The ten Scouts earned 48 merit badges while they were at camp.
Indian Lore, Archaeology, and Search And Rescue merit badges were the popular ones this summer. While two Scouts earned the Canoeing badge at camp, two more earned it on a canoe trip in August. It was also nice to see a few Scouts work on various Eagle required badges while they were at camp.
Not only did the Scouts work on the advancement at camp, many of them continued working after they got home. Another 5 merit badges were earned after camp, bringing the total for the next court of honor to 53 badges.
In addition to the merit badges, several Scouts finished work on their rank requirements. At the time of writing this the troop will recognize one new Scout Rank, one Star Scout Rank, two Life Ranks, and one Scout will receive his third Eagle Scout Pin, the Silver pin. It is going to be a fun court of honor on Monday, September 29.
