On May 1-3, 2009 Boy Scout Troop 626 attended the Cascade District Camporee, held at Ensign Ranch near Cle Elum, Washington. 12 Troops and 183 Scouts from Bellevue, Mercer Island, and North Renton attended this event.We arrived on Friday evening and set up camp at the "Grotto" campsites which was nicely tree covered and provided plenty of space
for everyone. Our Troop consisted of 17 Scouts and 7 guest Webelos, making up three Patrols: Blue (Fire Breathing) Dragons, Jumbo Goldfish, and Toxic Jellybean Webelos. 10 adults were also on hand throughout the weekend.We began the Saturday morning with High Adventure activities
where the Scouts worked on honing their teamwork skills in a variety of physical challenges. After lunch, the Scouts went on to the Field Events that presented the Patrols with a variety of Scout skill challenges. Following the Field Events was a Patrol relay challenge that only the Webelos Patrol participated in. The rest of the Scouts decided to spend the afternoon playing Lacrosse, football, and exploring the grounds.
In the evening, the Patrols reassembled for dinner time. Each Patrol did their own meal preparations while the Adults and Webelos had Hobo stew (Foil meals), followed by a dutch oven cobbler.Meanwhile, the Scouts made an entry for the dessert competition consisting of cake, frosting, and Ritz crackers... Strange looking, yet oddly delicious!
The evening ended with the campfire program, followed by lights out. On Sunday morning, our Troop was packed up and headed home by 9:45 am... everyone satisfied with the fun and adventure we experienced over the weekend!
