CAMPING 2011.

Our first campout in Amanda's Backyard.

It looks like a campground doesn't it?

So, I was in charge of this event this Summer.

What I did was choose a Badge for each of the Troops to work on while Camping so they earned a Badge as well as a Backyard Camping Patch.

First, we all set up the tents.

 The Cadettes and Juniors made dinner.

 The girls sewed their Sit-Upons.

 They learned a new "Grace" for when we eat.

They gave the older girls an applause for their great cooking!

 My husband is a wildland firefighter. He talked with the girls about outdoor jobs.

 The girls divided into groups and did skits.

 Breakfast in the morning.

 Time for centers.

The Daisies made necklaces with Becky.

 The Cadettes had homework for their camping badge. They had to put together a First Aid Kit.

Kimberly did an amazing job with hers.

 This group learning how to tie knots with Sandy.

 Amanda taught the girls how to use a compass.

 Arianna with her necklace.

 Carmendee is one of our group Tagalongs.

Camping Bingo for the Daisies.

 They split into groups for a Scavenger Hunt.

 Looking for all the things on their list.

 Time for our "Hike." We went out exploring for awhile.

Troop #2447 had a great time Camping.

The girls picked everything up so quickly, I was impressed.

They came with their homework and ready to go.

These girls are amazing!

Thanks to all the other Leaders and Husbands that helped us. <3
