We were wet.  Then we dried out  now we’re wet again. The rain stopped just in time for the Cherokee play to start.

I got a few comments about the boys not smiling. Smiling is only permitted every three hours on even numbered days.

Actually, they are just listening or studying intently.

Sam B.’s malaria is getting better since we began seeing the Cherokee medicine man here in NC.

We lost Mr. Brad. Well, some say it was intentional, but I’m not sure. We last saw him tied to a tree north of out camp.

These pictures are of us at Mingus Mill, the Indian village, and the play.

Tater cooked him until he was red and dead, then ate every bite!

Now everyone is looking for them.

Well here we are on day four. We survived the night at Rabun Beach even though we have no cell phone service. The campsite is beautiful, and the swimming area is just as nice as it was three years ago.

We found most of Jason’s fingers. The guy in the trailer next to our tent site sewed them back on and says two or three might be ok.  He’s not a doctor but he did charge as much a one would have charged.

The police came and got Mr. DeMildt. Something about holding up a feed store.

Here are some pictures of us at Foxfire this morning.

Today we spent the day at Robins Air Force Base.  Every one of the boys seemed to be very happy to be here.  Eating mess food has certainly changed over the years.

We had some very interesting tours, and every boy now has the aviation merit badge.

Matthew got a blister and broke his glasses.  Nathaniel lost his stuff.  Poppy got lost with half of the troop in the woods.  I have chiggers. Dakota lost most of his hair.

More tomorrow if we survive the night.

Scout Show Information

Posted by Scoutmaster on March 31, 2010

The KABOOM show from the Orlando Science Center has been added to the Scout Show line up of entertainment and vendors.  The KABOOM show is a show where things get blown up in a science kind of way.  The scouts that have seen the show really like it.

Important Scout Show Links:

Camping Reservation Form (For your family or unit) (Troop 804 has no plans to camp there at this time.)

Special Food Deals from Woody’s BBQ that you can order as a unit or family

Booth Form (If your unit has not filled out a form yet) (I have signed the troop and the pack up for the museum exhibits.  I hope we can be side-by-side. Be looking for any other old stuff we can show off.  It will cost us 10% of our commission on coupon sales if we do not go.)
