Compass Course

The 11 year olds went into the desert East of our neighborhood. They did a one mile orienteering course with their compasses. Chaz brought extra shade with his super sweet hat!

Scouts: Mikael H, Caleb P, Devondre W, and Caleb H.
Leaders: Jared C, Chaz L, and Andy D.


"The Calebs" (Caleb H and Caleb P) learned how to orient a compass to find waypoints on the course. Mikael is sighting the next waypoint with his telescope.


On the course Mikael and Devondre came across loads of spent ammo shells. They collected them and practiced the outdoor code by picking up litter.

Eagle Project

Skyler B. is working on his Eagle Project. He is making activity kits for the cancer kids at Banner Desert Hospital.

He is including a CD of himself playing his guitar. The kits will have all kinds of activities, books, games, and toys to brighten their days while in the hospital.

Skyler is putting the kits together this Saturday with his extended family. He will present the kits to the hospital sometime next month.

Longboards

The Priests made long boards. The last picture is the press used to bend the plywood. They started putting the boards in the press on the 14th of February and each board needed to be in the press for 24 hours. Every night a boy would come over to place their board in the press. On the 21st they went to Fred C's uncle’s shop to cut out the designs. During Spring break they took the boards to Ironwood crossing and tested them out in a park there.

Special thanks to Mikael's dad, RJ, for coming along on the campout.

The scouts had fun splashing each other with water as they hiked along the creek. The weather was perfect. Jared took Andy's picture while he sucked in his gut and Chaz laughed. Chaz climbed the the windmill after discovering a geocache tied to it.
