What have wee been doing since February? A lot. Campouts with horseback riding, fishing, skeet shooting, it’s been a blast!
March.
The troop drove to the Northern Virginia Lions Youth Camp in Boyce, and used that as their base for the weekend. Saturday they went out for a trail ride at Royal Horseshoe Farm in Front Royal. Rave reviews of this campout, despite the fact that it was REALLY cold Saturday night. The scouts enjoyed the trail ride, and the horses enjoyed the apples afterward.
April.
We finally got back to having our annual Skeet shoot and campout at the Izaak Walton League in Chantilly. All of the scouts and leadership on the roster come out of the woodwork for this campout, it’s so much fun. After the skeet shoot, wood chopping and splitting was the subject of the afternoon, and apparently it managed to tire out EVERYONE!
May.
The troop wandered down to Burke Lake for some oRAINteering and Fishing on the Occoquan.
June.
The campout will be on Father’s Day weekend, they’ll be kayaking on the Shenandoah.
