Troop 163 went to Camp Meriwether in the Cascade Pacific Council for summer camp this year. We had 10 scouts and 2 adults: Tom B, Neil B, Trevor d, Ty F, Curtis M, Peter R, Thomas R, Amphil R, Isaac S, and Andy W. The adults were Bob B and Dave R.

We had good weather for most of the week. Friday and Saturday mornings were a bit wet.

The scouts worked on merit badges and the younger scouts worked on rank advancement.
The volleyball game had two players connected by a tether, and having to coordinate their travel to get a series of balls over the barrier and into a bucket. Interesting things happened when communication failed. The younger scouts had an advantage in Isaac when it came time to do the stretcher carry.
Part of the Friday games involved electing your favorite staff members to take a cruise in an overloaded rowboat. Of course, there was other entertainment provided by the Tillamook Cheese heads in the form of diving, pole vaulting, belly flops, etc. But the highlight was the cruise of the elected staff. Who knows where the cruise was to.
It never quite made it there.
This is the group that went to the camp. Some people tried to avoid getting in pictures. The scouts relaxed by playing cards, and teaching Emma a game called scum.
