Boulder Creek campout

Written by Indra

Scout Troops 64/4064 joined with Cub Pack 163 on the first weekend of December for our annual winter Boulder Creek campout. As per tradition: it rained. On the first day, we left right after school to set up our tents and make a chili dinner before daylight ran out. On day two, after a 1.5 mile hike, the Cub Scouts arrived and we practiced fire-building skills. The wet weather allowed us the rare opportunity to actually start the fire and enjoy it – something we can’t do during the dry and fire-prone summer months. We ate hobo packets for dinner, then did skits around the campfire. Overall, a great campout. But next time maybe don’t bring more than 400 Oreo cookies. Or do. We like Oreos.
