Caddo Lake

We went to Caddo Lake this past weekend. It was good to have our two newest scouts (Dakota and Holt) come along. canoed to Goat Island for lunch. There were lots of lillypads and that made it harder to paddle. We had to endure a lecture on proper grub mastering. We thought this was a boy led troop and we decide what we want. :)

On Monday we started our popcorn selling drive and worked again on the PF merit badge.

Troop 5 Joins the Blogosphere

Trevor is the new Historian for Troop 5. He was as suprised as anyone when his name was called as Charlie introduced the new Scout Leadership at our annual kickoff barbeque a few weeks ago.

You might say that the position of Troop 5 Historian has taken a rather low profile over the past few years. Not sure what previous Historians have done, but maybe it was... uh, I don't know .... nothing?? Didn't really leave a legacy.

Leave it to dad to change all that. I decided that this Historian, and perhaps future Historians, should truly earn his position of responsibility. Trevor, Charlie, the key board is yours! A blog is born.
