It's Thursday

Yesterday afternoon Brendan arrived to cook us dinner. The menu: rebar chicken, garlic green beans, and corn on the cob. Tawynna arrived early and helped with the preparation. Later the Myatts and the Oujuas came.




Brendan's cuisine was terrific!
With rain looming, the parents left and the Scouts stayed in camp to enjoy more Risk, chess, and cards.



Thursday is the last day of merit badge classes. Tomorrow, the Scouts will have the morning to complete any remaining merit badge requirements. The afternoon will be filled with activities such as a scavenger hunt, belly flop contest, and so on.

If you haven't been to Camp Durant, the place is pretty nice. The jewel in the crown is the Grand Lodge where meals are served.

The food is provided by an outside vendor (Aramark) and is pretty good with generous portions.


Underneath the dining hall is the trading post, the grill, and an activity room used for events such as the daily Scoutmaster briefing.




Right outside of the dining hall, is a balcony with rocking chairs that often catches a breeze and offers a view of the camp's aquatic area.



If you look real close, you might be able to see Chip and the other swimmers doing their daily 4pm training for the Mile Swim. That'll take place tomorrow afternoon.
