I'M BACK

I know it's been awhile since I last posted, but I've had things to do. You see, I just got back from scout camp yesterday. and I think I'll tell you about my adventures there right now.

Now lets see, where to begin... oh I know. On my second day at scout camp, I took the canoeing merit badge, and one of the requirements was to jump out of the canoe , and get back in it with out swamping it, I was probably in the water for about forty minutes when I finally got back in the canoe, and by then it was half-way filled with water then five minutes later it sunk, but hey I still got the merit badge. also that day, I was walking around a table to get my stuff , because I had just earned the carpetry merit badge, and for those of you who don't know it is on of the four original merit badges that are only available for this year since it is the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, any ways where was I oh, yes as I was saying I was walking around a table to get my stuff when my foot got caught on some stools that we had to make for the merit badge, I fell, and my face hit the side of a cardboard box full of nails and screws, my face felt numb for awhile after that.the next day, I was in a canoe and was just about to dock it when my buddy stood on the side of the canoe, and swamped it, I immediately got my watch out and made sure it was not in the water, because I swam in a lake with a watch on last year, and it never worked again, I didn't get revenge on him, because I'm a nice guy
and also because he was in his wet swim suite for the rest of the night, while I was in a different set of clothes.and on the last day, that same buddy tricked me into going up onto where these logs where, for a soda can, i did it, but the soda can was empty.Also, for one of the merit badges, I had to build a shelter that was not a tent, and sleep in it for a whole night I did that, but it was a very cold night, so it was hard to sleep.

Aside from that I had a great time I earn eight of the five merit badges I went there for I earned Emergency Preparedness (a required meit badge for eagle), Carpetry, Pathfinding(another centennial merit badge), Indian Lore, Mammal Study, Insect and Wildlife Managment, Wilderness Survival, and Canoeing.

If you want to know the total number of merit badges I'll tell you right now 34 and a half (the half is because of a partial one of us got) woth only four people in our troop. there are probably troops out there that have more people than us that didn't earn as many merit badges as us.
