In the middle of December, Troop 27 went to Wurr flats for a weekend outing before the holiday break. We had a pretty relaxed outing because it rained for most of the trip. The weather did however provide some new opportunities for the troop to practice camping in the rain. We learned how to rain-proof tents and gear and we also learned what happens when you don’t. We also had a lot of time to practice our wood-tools skills and we chopped and processed a lot of wood to keep a warm fire burning even in the rain. Even though we got rained on a lot, the scouts had a great time chopping wood and learning how to deal with less than ideal weather conditions.
