From the Scribe's perspective:

  This campout was great.  We went to Roman Nose State Park in northwestern Oklahoma. They were hosting a re-enactment of the 1800's. The patrols set up really quick on Friday evening and Spencer and Jack had a new guy patrol called the Patriots.  On Saturday, everyone got around and finished breakfast quick. Venture and the guys going on the trek this summer went on a hike after breakfast while the rest of the troop went up to the re-enactment. When Venture got back from their hike after being lost on the golf course for a while, some went to the activities.  Then, all the patrols had dinner which was hamburgers for all of them. When everyone was done with dinner, we all messed around for awhile and then had campfire. Next, there was nothing to do but go to bed. When we woke up, we all got ready on the things that needed to be done, yet it took longer than setting up to break down especially in the policing area. Overall, it was a great campout and I think most of the guys had fun on it.

From the Scoutmaster's perspective:

Although the winter has not been all that cold, we have picked weekends with cold nights for camping. The February campout to Roman Nose state park was a double Polar Bear again. We had kind of a weird campsite this time. We were basically in the median of the campground loop drive. It was really more like a picnic area. However, we made the best of it. The Bitter Creek Frontier Daze was ok, but we had heard that it had been much better in the past. One of the participants said that there was another re-enactment going on the same weekend, so many of the usual participants were at the other one. The Scouts who went could see much potential in attending the re-enacement events. They all had a great time and were interested in going to a huge event, called Trappers Rendezvous, that is in Kansas every January.
