| Our February activity was to attend the district Winterall at LeRoy Oaks Forest Preserve. Here are a view pictures from that event. | |
| Foil dinners made for quick cleanup. |
|
| Scoutmaster Dale Blotter passes the foil dinners to Nick Del Muro and Cameron Seay (this was the first campout for both boys.) |
|
| Cheyne Heaton dressed in the latest Russian military surplus. It was Cheyne's first campout also. Evening temperature was around 20 F. |
|
| Nick Del Muro. |
|
| Yours truly. I enjoyed hot chocolate from the thermos my daughter Cora bought me for Christmas. |
|
| Joseph Larson. His first campout with braces. Lookin' good, Joseph! |
|
| Zach Tritsch made an easy chair out of a snow ball. Brrrr! |
|
| Crazy Zach in his chair. |
|
| The better looking half of the Winterall staff. |
|
| Preparing to make dessert for the cooking contest. |
|
| Chocolate pudding cake with marshmallows. |
|
| Premeasured ingredients in plastic bags makes for easy work. The cake was good. Nice job, Dale. |
|
| Unknown scout - not one of ours - tries in vain to dry socks and boots. A note to moms: don't send your boys out on a winter outing with cotton socks and poor boots. |
|
| Dale Blotter is in the sled for the traditional sled race. Joseph Larson and Kirk Gray strategize. |
|
| And they're off! |
|
| We didn't do so well in this race. That's us rounding a tree in last place. |
|
| We had better luck in subsequent heats. When it was all said and done, we got a ribbon for third place. |
|
| Chris Reynolds and Robbie Blotter. |
