Kat went to her Scout meeting this week intending to run for Patrol Leader - the leader of just the 9 girls in her patrol. Instead, she was encouraged to run for Senior Patrol Leader, and she won! That means she runs Troop meetings for ALL the girls, runs the leadership planning meetings, and is the go-to for Scouts to ask questions to. It's a big role, and we're all super proud of her!
Tommy's Scouts den was super excited for Camperall, the Cub Scout event where they compete against other Packs showing off their scout skills. They form a patrol, and then come up with a name, flag, and chant. They were the SUSquatches, a combination of sasquatch and "sus" (suspicious) from the game "Among Us".
Here they are showing off their spirit and their chant, and getting ready to play Ultimate Frisbee.
They won their first game, but got beat in the semi-finals.
Here are their prize mini-frisbees.
That's some serious scout spirit!
They competed in fire building...
Tent building, knot relays, first aid, flag ceremony, obstacle course, and trivia.
But they mostly liked chucking things in the swamp.
They camped out at Central Park for the night...

They made sandwiches for lunch, then cooked their own hot dogs and s'mores cones for dinner.
That night they performed the "Invisible Bench" skit at the campfire, and took home 3rd place ribbons in knot tying, first aid, and the obstacle course. They also got first place for their flag! We were so proud of them!
They really work well together, encourage each other, and have a ton of fun together. What a great group!
