Winter Camporee - January 2010

The 2010 Annual Wagon Wheel District Winter Camporee was held at Camp Wakonda on
January 22-24. The theme was the BSA 100-Year Celebration, and the events were:
Unique Fire Building Competition, Semaphore/Morse Code, Animal-print Plaster-cast,
Orienteering (Map reading), Plant Identification, Canyon Crossing (via “rope bridge”),
Ice fishing, Sled race (build your own sled), and Scavenger hunt. Lunch was potato
chowder and chicken soup, and also included what every winter camp should have - lots
of hot chocolate! We enjoyed every moment! During free time between our Troops events
we built a snow sculpture of Jeff being eaten by a snow shark (as you can see in some
of the pictures below). We all had a blast camping in tents at the 2010 Winter Camporee!!!

Isaac tries to get his team across	Gabe, Peter, and Jeff are waiting	Everyone is preparing to go across
Troop 231 is ready to go	Time to start going across the Canyon	Gabe is upside down on the rope-bridge
Gabe is trying to get his foot up	Peter is waiting patiently	Peter has fallen off the rope-bridge
Jeff is ready to cross, he is excited	Jeff is trying not to fall	Ben is trying to beat the clock
Our second scout goes across	Everyone is building a snow sculpture	Jeff is buried under snow
What should our sculpture be?	The sculpture might be a jaw	It's an animal for sure
It looks like a monster	Oh, it's a run away snow shark	Jeff looks scared to death
The snow shark looks angry	Removing the snow shark sculpture	Troop 231 practicing for the sled race
Everyone is helping get Jeff up the hill	Jeff looks relaxed now
