Mora Boy Scout Troop 191 Goes On Their Annual Winter Campout

Every year the Mora Boy Scout Troop goes winter camping. This year was our second year camping in the same place thanks to Al Motschenbacher, and George Castellano for letting Troop 191 and Pack 193 use their land for such purposes, and to Tom and Claire Jones for donating cedar timbers. Two summers ago, a small Native American village was erected by Bob Dallin and Bob Haller. The village consists of 2 tee-pee's for the Scouts sleeping quarters, a wigwam for the adult sleeping quarters, and a natural shelter made from brush and logs for storage of supplies. 

Two camp stools, a shelf to store gloves, and a drying rack to set by the fire to dry our wet gloves and socks were among the items built from sticks and twine this year. They whittled wood shavings and gathered small sticks, built a nest out of these and with the aide of home made fire starters made from cotton balls and Vaseline had a fire started with a flint and steel in very little time. 

At lunch time the Scouts showed excellent team work. All boys taking some part in the preparation and cooking. They cooked for the adults as well as for themselves. 

We enjoyed great weather this year compared to previous years. One Scout came extremely prepared by bringing a small game table and cards. All the boys enjoyed playing the game of "Presidents" in the great outdoors on a beautiful sunny January day.
