The Spring Camporee at Bert Adams this year was sponsored by the Kenesaw Chapter of the Order of the Arrow. We arrived Friday evening and set up camp in the woods. Martin Kaido organized the scouts to build a great entrance by lashing several poles together and attaching our flags to the entrance. It looked great. The dining flys went up, food was put away and all were in bed in preparation for a busy day on Saturday.

Saturday breakfast was pancakes and the scouts actually cooked them all the way! Clean up was completed with minor moaning and groaning and we went to assembly in preparation for the day. The OA had 5 team building and skills training games set up that keep the scouts busy most of the day.

At the Saturday evening campfire, the OA "tapped out" its new members, including Brian Flamm and Mr. Fitzner. Brian Corbett donned Indian regalia to assist with the ceremony.

The evening activities included an outdoor movie with popcorn.

Sunday morning the OA performed a worship service at the edge of the lake. All in all a great council event.

Great weather, Great fellowship, Great scouting.

I shot these photos with my camcorder, using the night shot feature for the OA ceremony - a very different effect! (EF)
