Camp, evening schedule

This is what I did for the rest of the day

Evening Colors Ceremony—5:00

We put down the flag, does this need further explaining?

Retreat — 5:45 pm

Every evening Scouts and leaders gather on the parade field for our camp-wide retreat ceremony. Everyone is in full class A uniform. We march and salute the big flag and watch the big flag go down.

Dinner — 6:00 pm
Immediately following the retreat ceremony, we eat dinner. We still have to be in class A uniform for dinner.

Evening Activity Period — 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Every program area is open for Scouts to visit, mostly to finish merit badges. (I had to work on woodworking)

Special Evening Activity Period — 8:30 pm to 9:45 pm

Monday we had to find thirty random items (Like five boys in exact same band uniforms), we were in third place. Tuesday was troop night we had a campfire and played Risk (I won). Wednesday was patrol night; each patrol fought each other in a variety of challenges, from obstacle course to tying one-handed knots (third place). Thursday was outpost (or campfire if you didn’t take an outpost merit badge) Friday we had STAFF HUNT the staff went out all over camp and we had to capture them and bring them to HQ, WE GOT SECOUND PLACE!!!
