WoodBadge Training - WB-W2-591-17-6

I attended WoodBadge!  Why?  Well, mostly because Nathan was going as a troop guide and thought it would be nice to have me there with him.  Oh and because he thought the leadership training would be helpful as well.  Honestly, I went with an open-mind but I wasn't excited.  Ultimately, I was very glad I went!

 The Beaver Troop raising the flag

I think we may have been getting ready to sing a funny song.

Our rocket was appropriately named, The Silver Beaver.  It was pretty much a failure, but we had the most attempts and getting it to go high in the sky!

Our troop lost a game and ended up with negative 3,000 points.  I call that great fun!! Although some members of our troop were ashamed.  Later when we played the "guilt game", we actually won and got lectured about not playing nicely.  Sara piped up and said, "No one got a lecture when we lost by 3,000 points!"

Our troop was in charge of the fireside on one of the last nights.  I conducted, because that's what I do....

Our troop working together playing games and figuring out puzzles.

On our "alone" night, we had to make our own dinner.  It was delicious steak and potatoes and vegetables.

Skyler had to leave us one night, so we sent him this picture to make sure he knew he was missing out.
