Oak Mountain Campout
Canoeing, Kayaking, Fire Safety, and Outdoor Cooking
Navigators earned their Fire Ranger Trail Badge and completed several requirements toward their Camping, Aquatics, and Outdoor Cooking Trail Badges!
Trailmen enjoyed swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding on Saturday morning.

That is the ugliest Trailman I've ever seen! Cute dog though!
Mr. Charley could hang out in the kayak all day
Navigators learned about fire safety and practiced building three types of firelays.
Joey builds a lean-to fire, which is great for rainy or windy weather.
We eat well when we camp, and this was no exception! Trailmen made beef hobo packs for themselves and their fathers, two Trailmen made Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler for the troops, and each Trailman made his own omelet!
Mr. Brad makin' bacon! (And eggs)
Mr. Brad teaches Navigators and Adventurers how to make beef hobo packs for themselves and their dads

Almost ready!
Now that's a good dinner!
Navigator Beau and Adventurer Mark each made Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler for dessert
A little vanilla ice cream and it's PERFECT
Ham and cheese omelet with onion, green onion, spinach, tomato, and jalapeños, and topped with salsa will get your motor runnin'
After Sunday worship we went to the lake for more aquatics.
