I can't believe it's been October since I last updated this blog. There have just been so many things going on that I have had to neglect some of those things, and unfortunately, this was one of the most neglected.

Service (opens in a new tab)
Last Saturday, the Troop and Pack participated in unloading a tractor trailer-load of pumpkins. The pumpkins are trucked in from New Mexico all the way here, to the Virginia coast. The proceeds from the sale of these pumpkins by our Chartering Organization will be used to fund mission trips to Appalachia next summer.
A Day at Bayport (opens in a new tab)
Loren and I spent the day at Bayport. The OA Lodge is clearing a nature trail and building benches for rest and teaching areas.

Greetings from Summer Camp! (opens in a new tab)
Hello, everyone! Here we are nearly halfway through our summer camp stay. The Scouts are settling into their routines after a rocky start, and everyone is having a great time. The first night we were here, one of our Scouts tested whether his head was harder than his buddy's head.
Summer’s Here (opens in a new tab)
I know it must be summer! As I sit here, after a great evening of grilling burgers and dogs, I can hear the bang and crackle of fireworks down the street from the house. Happy 4th of July! We finished the end of last month off with a weekend on Scout Hill at Fort Story.
