Fall Camporee

This year there was a great turnout for the Erie Shores Council's Fall Camporee at Camp Miakonda. There were over 700 in attendance for the events on Saturday afternoon and evening. The weather was a bit chilly and we had a few scattered showers; however, that didn't dampen any one's spirits. The boy participated in many activities including: Archery, BB gun range, obstacle course, rope bridge, fire starting (without matches) and many more. We also sang the Underwear Song together with the rest of Pack 209 at the campfire. At the event they were able to work on may electives and a few sport belt loops. The boys ended the long evening with night hike, without flashlights, where they sang with a harmonica player, learned about and listened to local owls, and visited a scout from the Ohio Militia from 1820 and learned about the Ohio-Michigan War.
