Sunday Night Campfire pictures

At the end of the first night they brought all the scouts together for an evening campfire program.  They used it to introduce the scouts to all the different teams.  This was done through brief skits performed by the teams.  The program started with recognizing where all the scouts are from and they ran the flags for the different states.  Texas was the furthest and South Carolina was the furthest north.

Then they had something I did not understand but it looked like it was a summer theme.  It reminded me of SeaWorld with the skiers coming in.  It was a traditional campfire in that they even told a scary story.

Your boys can explain any thing when they come back if you have any questions.

 The excitement is overwhelming.
