This Just In...
Friends,I was so excited to receive this report about our Boy Scout troop at Hope Gardens Family Center, that I had to post it on my blog!
Hello team, the kids and I had a wonderful time on our Boy Scout camping trip. There were 200 Boy Scouts at this event and our Hope Gardens Troop 2911 Wolf Pack Patrol came in 3rd place for over-all activities. We also received a ribbon for having the most spirit at that time giving our troop call.
The boys represented Hope Gardens very well and most of the patrol leaders verbally acknowledge that to me and our kids. It was amazing watching the boys work together to reach goals and finish the activities. Our boys also encouraged each other and respected each team member for their strengths and short comings and helped when another need help. I am so proud of all of the 7 boys I took.
Gabriel: He led our troop in points scored by knowing and tying 4 knots in 2 minutes.
Eric: He lead us in points by scoring very good on marksmanship hitting his target 4 out of 5 times. Also, for showing leadership and accepting the responsibility of being Troop 2911 Senior Patrol Leader. He was responsible for getting the boys up, and helping me out in many ways.
Malik: He proved to everybody that no matter what problems a person might suffer from he can be just as competitive. I’m very proud of Malik because he tried every activity and he always gave it his all. Malik has SPIRIT.
Michael: He led us in archery by hitting the bulls eye scoring pretty good for his first time shooting bow and arrow.
Marcus: I want to thank him for always staying positive and for cooking me some chicken. YES, all the boys had to prepare and cook their own meals and Marcus cooked and fixed my plate for me.
Tamir: He led our team in identifying different plants and animals. Thanks because I didn’t have a clue.
Joseph: He helped out by getting all the boys together and helped coordinate our play that we performed for the other 200 Boy Scouts.
Me - well I was just there to supervise and guide but they did everything. Well, except for FEAR FACTOR!!! I won this years Boy Scout Camp fire award because the kids signed me up for FEAR FACTOR. I had to eat cow HEART<>
We all had a fun time and we learned so much about the outdoors, Boy Scouts, ourselves and each other. The kids really believe that they can accomplish goals that they set for themselves, but they also got a chance to set goals and accomplish them together as a team. I believe this has brought our boys together and our kids will get a lot out of being a Boy Scout, an experience they share with others. In fact, many other troop leaders have invited us to other activities with their troops! We have also been invited to an Eagle Scout (Highest Rank) Ceremony Sunday. God is Good.
Keep this impressionable young men in your prayers as Chris and other mentors impact their lives! Andy B.
