June 26-28 Camping at the Patuxet Wildlife Refuge North Tract

This trip was AWESOME! We had campfires both nights.


The boys helped with cooking and we had pancakes, roasted pork, roasted chicken and of course smores!


The campsite was close to home so everyone who couldn't camp, could still come to the scouts graduation!The graduation ceremony was fantastic - thank you to Boy Scout Troop 119 for joining our ceremony and breaking those arrows for our WebII's!


The scouts (and some siblings) worked with Cubmaster Al on learning how to use flint & steel to start a fire.


Fishing on the river was fruitful - Nathan caught three fish and Abby caught two! The boys (and girls) were able to get their feet wet wading in the water so they could get right into the fishing, and cool down too.


We saw lots of toads, frogs, fish. And we had a little friend (or a family of friends) in the form of a FOX visit the camp site often. And the first night a very large racoon snuggled up with Ms. Jenn!


We also took part in an Owl prowl night hike...and although we didn't see any owls, we heard one. We did see lots of interesting insects, a few toads and millions of fireflies!
