Boy Scout Troop 57 with their catapult. Pictured are Javier Llarena, River Sittig, Ernie Boyd (one of the Scout leaders), Andy Llarena, Dalton Hendricks, John Gibson, and Josh Mendez.
Camporee activities included talking on ham radios with Scouts from other parts of the world, land navigation study, archery, a patrol-led tug-of-war, a fire starting competition, a knot tying competition, and pumpkin carving. The Scouts used their knot tying and lashing skills to build catapults with cedar poles and rope. These catapults were then used in a competition to see how far they could fling their carved pumpkins.
The Order of the Arrow provided a “haunted trail” for the other Scouts. Scout leaders practiced their campfire cooking skills by competing in a Dutch oven chili and dessert challenge. Free time was spent with ultimate Frisbee games and Scout wrestling matches.
