We had our Winter campout in
Washington County this year at Camp Anawanna. This trip was used as an
opportunity to work on merit badges and advancement. Scouts ( and Leaders ) had the opportunity to stay in a cabin or sleep in tents. Some of our more aggressive scouts decided to impress us and slept outside without the benefit of tents. This was all the more impressive because the temperature dropped to 13¼ F Saturday night. In the morning they brushed off the frost and went to raise the flag.

Mrs. Ray helped the scouts learn how to use foil, charcoal and a lot of initiative to cook a big chicken dinner for the whole troop.

Notice the ground cloth to the left of the picture?  That is what several scouts slept on Saturday night, without a tent - when it got soooooo·.. Cold!
