Tommy and Kat Camping

 Kat and Tommy both went on the Scout Skills camping trip. They roasted marshmallows the first night...
And that's Kat on the left giving directions to the younger scouts. She was one of the senior scouts on this trip!

Tommy got a lot of requirements signed off, and is really close to his first class rank now.

They did get rained on. A lot. Don't they look happy? Their Scoutmaster said they were all good sports about it, but this picture says otherwise. 
A few weeks later they went to Camporee to compete against other scout troops in their district. Here's Kat helping with lashings to build their big camp gateway.
It was a Wild West theme, and Tommy fully embraced it with his golden cowboy hat, bandana, and perfect horseshoe form. 
Kat had some good form too!
They were in the same food patrol, so they cooked and cleaned together. 
Here's Tommy practicing his lassoing skills.

And with his buddies
Tucker, Tommy, Anton, Morgan, and Ethan
Lots of scouts there competing!
Their troop came home with ribbons in first aid, scavenger hunt, patrol flag, and won the golden pie tin award for their dessert!
Tommy did a great job as part of the flag color guard too in front of the whole district!
Good job, scouts!
