On the weekend of April 23-25, Troop 5 went on a campout at Camp Tabora.
‘Camp Tabora’ – named after Assistant Scout Master Edwin Tabora, whose son, Eagle Scout Nathaniel Tabora, recently ‘aged-out’ of Troop 5 – is really the Taboras’ lawn.
Members of all 5 patrols went.
On a neighbor’s lawn, we had the Troop 5 Olympics.
The Troop Olympics are an annual event that patrols compete in for Patrol Points Contest (PPC) points.
We played many games of ‘Newty Ball,’ (a form of dodgeball), Rope of Death, and Capture the Flag.
Those who are going to Philmont in the summer partook in a ‘shakedown,’ where we saw what we had, and what we needed, to go backpacking on the Philmont trek.
Scouts arrived and departed with their parents, or through carpooling with patrol mates.
