On the weekend of 2/28-29/04, BSA Troop 12 went on a ski trip!

 We (14 scouts and 3 leaders) arrived at Camp Stub Toe in the late afternoon where we met the camp owner Mr. Smith and Started setting up shop. After setting up the tents and the trailer, the scouts collected wood for the fire, and then commenced a snowball fight. While this was going on Mr. Roa fixed us dinner while Mr. Lavalley Searched for the meat balls. I played around setting up the telescope. After dinner the leaders tended to the dishes while the scouts tended to the camp fire.

And tend they did; while I fiddled with the telescope which put out images like this. Some scouts preferred whittling to star gazing or fire tending.

For some of us , it was a cold night, but we warmed up in the cabin in the morning. Then before we left to ski we posed by the cabin.

 our host But we'd come to ski. So Off we went. We were going to ski even if we had to climb the snow drifts in order to get there.

Some took Ski lessons   While others tried snow boarding Radical but hard! But we'd come to ski!

And Ski we did!
