It was just that time of year again, time for most of the scouts' favorite campout! Dimora is a campout of... well...  simply fun, not that the other campouts aren't supremely entertaining, it's just that at Dimora there are no merit badges to do, or planned activities.
Our troop left on the 4th, with 26 scouts and 6 adults, and of course some Webelos and their parents would join us at the campsite. Camp set up went well; everyone was having their Cracker Barrels soon after arriving at camp. A campfire was started that was to last all weekend, which was pretty unique for a campout.
The next day was a day of fun, simply stated. Most spent the day either playing Capture the Flag, Manhunt, or just hanging out. A first aid drill was also done, and while we didn't do quite as well as we had hoped, it showed us something the troop needs to work on. There was a great meal provided for everyone, sloppy joe's. Later into that night, the Sons of the American Revolution also came to join us at the campfire. We retired flags with them and then they talked about their organization.
On Sunday a big football game was held with the adults facing the scouts. Camp takedown went relatively smoothly afterwards and then the troop was off, back to indoor life... oh! And did I mention that every night of the campout was freezing? Can't forget to say that.
