Sam & Ben had a great time at Scout Quest this weekend. It really is a unique experience & I am glad that Ben could do it. They set their tents up with Troop 301 which is one of the Webster scout troops.
They were able to eat together with the parent troop, which saved a lot of trouble with cooking themselves. Sam says that the days of great meals from scout camp outs seem to have vanished though
They got up around 6.30 on Saturday morning, ate & got cleaned up and then had a quick game of Frisbee.
Ben spent a lot of time trying to get the baseball though the target. He was really excited that he won a football and several key chains during the day.
They flew balsa wood planes....
and got to see some real ones
One of the big hits (and longest lines) was the ice block sledding....
Ben loved the water slide (of course)
They had a bunch of climbing walls for the older scouts
The kids had fun playing sponge wars
There was a big show and dinner at night. The scouts had to wear their uniforms

By the end of the day, they were pretty tired. They were out in 90 degree heat all day. Ben & Sam (and a bunch of other people) decided just to pack up and come home on Saturday night. I think they were both glad to be sleeping in their own beds again....
