John’s Cub Scout Pack had their spring campout this weekend at Hanson Hills Campground outside of Kingdom City, Missouri. The campout was supposed to be two weeks ago, but it was postponed due to rain. Fortunately, we had beautiful weather with only one brief rain shower today. We all had a good time – even Laura who insisted she did not want to go – and John was especially excited to earn another belt loop. He also received a canteen from one of the older Cub Scouts.
The kids played, explored the woods, and rode their bikes all afternoon. They even put on a play for the adults. A highlight of the afternoon was “watching” a rocket launch. Well, we were supposed to see a launch, but the rocket refused to cooperate.
Dinner was fantastic. Rotisserie chicken, pork steaks, and potatoes. Lots and lots of potatoes.
The evening ended with a large bonfire and some time with the other Cub Scouts and their families. It was a great way to end a fun day!
