Lost Dutchman State Park - September 26 - 27
Despite the chance of rain we moved forward with our campout to Lost Dutchman State Park. Kinda makes me think of Pirates of the Caribbean...The Flying Dutchman. Anyways, one of the requirements of the Cooking merit badge is for the boys to cook their own meals on a campout. Some of them enjoyed their meals and others had a learning experience! Nonetheless, a requirement fulfilled. We had a good Friday night until a few visitors showed up (see pictures, below). After a restless night, we woke and hiked up to The Basin of the Superstition Mountains. According to Park literature, we hiked a total of 4 miles. As we hiked we noticed 3 signs indicating the completion of Eagle projects. This is meant to inspire those Life scouts in the troop to find a project and begin working. There are countless ideas and projects out there.

Zion's Camp - July 2014
Zion's Camp was a unique experience; combining scouting and high adventure activities with daily spiritual messages. The nightly devotionals were very focused on helping the young men make the decision now to follow the straight and narrow path, serve missions, stand up for truth amidst opposition, and live for others (ask your young men about their red handkerchiefs).
During the activities there was also a School of the Prophets class for the adult leaders...hosted by our very own Brother Tim Hall and Bishop Ryan Anderson. The instruction provided was inspired and memorable.
Each deacon aged young man attended 4 merit badges classes while the teacher and priest aged young men participated in activities such as shotgun shooting, blow darts, repelling, mountain biking, and an obstacle course.
On the last day of camp the leaders and youth participated in a competition against each other! To avoid making the youth relive the agony, I'll be brief and say the LEADERS WON. We have a trophy in the clerks office to prove it :-).
Enjoy the pictures, below. If anyone has pictures they want to share and have posted on the blog please forward them to me.
