Lunchtime!
Quick snap from lunchtime. We went to Swimming, Kayaking, Communications, Emergency Prep, among many others. Now some downtime before braving the climbing wall this afternoon!
Good Morning Day 1
Good Morning from Day 1 at Woodruff. We had a good arrival day and seem to be mostly oriented to Camp Woodruff in the north Georgia mountains. Great sunset over campfire and the sun is out this morning. Campfire program was pretty impressive outside of a dismal fire – didn’t look they used enough Scout-water! It is Pretty humid this am as it sounds like it has been quite rainy for the last week. We look forward to a great week!

Regardless of type, Scouts must remember that Hammocks are to be used for relaxing or sleeping, not for swinging, roughhousing, or horseplay.
Pro’s- Lightweight, easily portable, mostly easy to setup, individual space and not dependent on others, relatively inexpensive
Con’s- No place to put your “stuff,” have to have enough appropriate trees to share, could take away from camaraderie, could be expensive Continue reading
