So. MO District Royal Rangers Backpacking Action Camp (BAC) Report and
pictures.
June 20th Thursday from 10:00 am through, 21st and Saturday 22nd noon, 2019
A perfect weather event. High of 93 and a low of 75. No rain!
We had 16 on this trip with 4 vehicles in route. 9 boys and 7 men.
Want to once again express thanks for the donation of fuel and travel expenses
to make this trip as affordable as possible. We were able to keep the
expenses for this District camp to 35.00 per person.. Each of the people
going received a neat wicking black RR tshirt that many realized the
difference in gear that made a difference in comfortable. Each boy and man
were given a BAC patch and some great memories to take home with them.
Each boy did the requirements for the Green Backpacking Merit and knocked out
the create a orienteering course requirement for the Orienteering Merit.
The
Orienteering Course they made up.
We backpacked and hiked 12 miles of trail.
This event was a bring your own, cook your own or go hungry event. This
puts the boy in the middle of his event. He has to plan and prepare and
follow through on all of it or his experience will teach him to do so the next
time. This trip I was very pleased to see the group took the information
given and we had the best time this year. They did a outstanding job in
prep and follow through. We think next time we will trap the racoons and
watch as Rob Batchman turns them loose...GRIN! The tube float down the
Buffalo River was a grand fun time and bringing these on the backpack gave us
some fun enjoyment in and out of the water. The boys and several dads
enjoyed some quality father son time and with their help they made this event
the best of the best. Picture is worth a 1000 words. Gospel was
lived out and preached at council fires and morning devotions. I am
thankful we serve a God who is our Lord and King and our best friend! He
goes with us. He looks after us and He blesses us! Wow Ranger
Ministry is the BEST!
