Entrance to Camp Tifie - Just above Mount Pleasant.
Brother Tim DeGraw flinging lead BB's into the air with a keen focus on demolishing a Clay Pigeon!
Brother John Hoschouer looking to best the other Scout Masters!
Brother Vince Hunt showing us his real (secret) skills outside of Computer Programming!
Doug Julian working on his next silly story around the fire at night!
Coulson Boggess and Austin Weight listening to another "Tall Tale" from Brother DeGraw around the table!
Coulson Boggess telling another "Tall Tale" to Austin DeGraw, Brother DeGraw, Jackson Black, Kyle Larson, and Austin Weight while enjoying the cool mountain air.... According to Coulson- "The Butler did it!"
Jackson Black looks on while sporting a "trendy new look" - The Green Moustache. Austin Weight can do nothing but stare at it... While Cole Thurston can only look away in disappointment. Cole likes purple better!
Hunter Ferre shows that no matter how dark the night sky gets - It is NO MATCH for his bright and cheerful smile! Hunter always has a great attitude!
Brother Hoschouer is putting a plan together to take over the whole mountainside by first light.... Austin Weight can picture such a feat becoming a reality, while Coulson thinks they may be onto something. Austin DeGraw thinks this is just not in the cards and Kyle Goulding is speculating on the possibilities... that this devious plan just might work! Spencer Steiner is thinking...."This has already failed three other times this week and I want ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it!
Jacob Underwood, Cole Thurston, and Kyle Larson work together to get the job done! Teamwork!
The Alto Cumulus clouds assembled just before our last meeting on Friday morning... Here comes the rain!
Brother DeGraw and Brother Hunt discussing the merit badges that need to be completed that day while the boys line up for the flag ceremony.
Brother Hoschouer looking on proudly at the South Valley View Scouts as they prepare to lead the Color Guard on the final day of the scout camp.
Ohhhh... To be young again..... Our troops are lookin' good and having a great time!
South Valley View Ward Scout Troop 1513 leading the Flag Ceremony.
Let the "Engineering" of the Vessel begin! If victory has any place in our future..... Every measurement, including "Wing Span" is most critical!
Every project must have a plan! Even if it is a boat made from strictly Cardboard and Duct Tape!
Everyone got involved and pitched in. Tristen Dimick knows we have created something special as he looks back and gives us the "You just hide.... and watch" look. We ultimately came up with a design and a boat that both Nephi and Noah would have been proud of. Although... to be honest.... It was not ultimately "Tight...like unto a dish" when "Push came to shove" in the "Swamp the Boat: competition held after the race.
Many Hands make light work! The boat was pretty light and so were the Sailors! Sounds like a "Goocher!"
Jackon beheld the vessel and declared that it was "good"... He was right...It was good...In fact, it was great!
The boat was complete... and only one question remained.... Where would we fit all of the animals?!?!?!?!?
Jackson Black - Zero-ing in on his target! Of course.... Our young Jackson hit the "Bull's Eye!"
Doug Julian looking to load in another round. Doug also shot very well and "represented" at the shoot!
Coulson Boggess hit all three targets that they threw in this round of the Shotgun Competition! Nice work!
Collin Walker proved that this gun and the clay pigeons were "No Match" for his marksman skills! Collin also hit three out of three skeet that were thrown for another perfect score in the competition for our troop!
Coulson and Collin look on as Spencer Steiner and Kyle Larson prepare for the Cardboard boat race!
Our boys are getting ready to "Put on a SHOW!!!" Colin and Coulson work on the "intimidation factor."
The boys discuss the "Rules of Engagement" with the Competition Director and it is reconfirmed that neither fire nor a herd of South American Red-Gilled Piranha's may be used to obliterate all that is known as the competition. We were ultimately forced to exercise "Plan C" and use a dizzying combination of brute strength, agility, tenacity, will power, athleticism, and just plain old Southern Mississippi Booty Kickin' to best the competition. "Plan C" worked.
We were stuck between a boat anchor, the Titanic, and a horizontal replica of Sponge-Bob Square Pants here... But our scouts did their best to keep a straight face and wish their good neighbors to the North and the South "Good Luck" as they prepared to speed off to victory!
Collin lets out a behemoth yell of excitement as the competition heats up in the "Swamp the Boat" Contest!
Coulson had to be closer to the action and time warped himself through the fence to do so... Nice work!
This is what they do to Merit Badge Counselors who don't sign the completed ""Blue Card" when done.
There's nothing like the sound of a fresh belly flop to get a crowd of young excited Boy Scouts revved up!
They called her "Flying Duct Tape" or even "Smooth Silver" in some circles... and for good reason!
"Old Silver's" final tour before retiring to a "Fiery Grave" at the local dump! Bon Voyage! Ous Vous
Chérie!
Colin Walker and Kyle Larson getting ready to brave the weather on an exploration hike!
They called him "Little Red Collin-Hood".... But I called him "dry."
Brother DeGraw can hardly believe his taste buds.... This was a true "Ham" Burger! Good stuff!
This is what you call "Double Trouble" - and I ain't even started talking about the burgers yet! They were "custom built" by the camp cooks that evening - Brother Mike Merrill and Brother Tim DeGraw. Double Patty, Double Ham, Double Cheese.... Double FABULOUS!! Top Chef..... Here we come!
Tristen Dimick decided to stack up a "Trifacta" in order to diminish our "Double Trouble" burgers!
Step 1 - No matter what the size relation to ones head and the Triple Burger - Take a bite... If you can!
Step 2 - Unlock your lower jaw like Burmese Python... and prepare to dive in for another bite!
Step 3 - Twist your unlocked jaw in order to grind the burger as you continually consume it from all sides.
Step 4 - Forget all of the antics and just DIG IN! Nice job Tristen! Not only did he finish the entire triple burger shown in "Exhibit E" above - He was also able to double his body weight in a matter of minutes! That was one huge burger that Tristen would not let go to waste! VERY IMPRESSIVE Tristen!
