On September 12th at 4:30pm, the scouts going on the cranes beach campout all gathered at the scouthouse to get supplies and an itinerary. Afterwards, we arrived at the cranes campsite, unpacked and ate, set up tents, and made a fire. The next morning people started to wake up and get things done. Breakfast was made, and we were shown how to correctly tie down raincovers and prepare the fire pit. Then, at 10:30 we counted off and started the service project (as is always customary as a thank you to cranes for letting us use the campsite). This year, the project was to clean up and adjust our campsite to our will. Some examples of jobs were: picking up pinecones, moving large and small sticks, digging out and bettering the fire pit, and many more. At the end we had a nice lunch and then two hours of free time. Some people went to the beach while others went to look at the mansion and the front lawn, or just rest at camp. Then, at 4:30 that evening, families and other troop members started showing up for dinner. We had at least 50 people come. Dinner was fun and after we retired to the bonfire for singing and talking. The next morning kids who needed their totin’ chip went to the axe yard with Mr. Hall to finish that up. Then we packed everything up and went back to the scout house to unload food and hang up tents. All in all, it was a fun weekend at cranes for the scouts.
