Scorpion! Award Boxes

We have been hard at work for several weeks on our award boxes.  We have drilled, screwed,
sanded
and stained - what a MESS
or solely in this case, NOT a mess.
All that hard work has paid off, though.  The glass is in and now the boys just have to place awards and wait for the last few to be given at Blue and Gold.  Here is one example of how they look (almost) finished.
The Webelos Colors and the Super Achiever patch will both go in the empty space on the right.

Scorpions - Ready or Not

Mr. Mangold has done it yet again.  This masterpiece dovetailed nicely with our emphasis this year on emergency preparedness.  What started as a service project ended up as WAY too much fun - but that seems to be a happy pattern with the Scorpion! den.  Take a look...
  
R U READY?

Camp Brorein - February 11

Camp Brorein was great - other than being really cold - and that was during the day.

 There were BB guns.
There were sling shots.
 There were bows and arrows.
 There were even canoe rides - and in some cases races.  One canoe tipped and all aboard landed in the drink - not a Scorpion! but that wasn't for lack of trying, I'm sure.
 Last but not least, there was camp dinner, Scorpion! style.  YUMMMM!  This was our "den project" on Saturday evening.
