In October 2023, our troop went on our annual covert ops campout and we did so many cool activities.

We learned and practiced knife and axe throwing. We also tied lashings to construct a large wooden cage to trap a chupacabra, a mythical monster rumored to inhabit the area. We learned ways to clean dirty water including using filters and boiling water to drink. Our troop learned how to make rope out of Rafa. We also practiced how to use first aid to treat broken bones, head injuries, and large cuts. All of these skills could be essential while camping.

We also got to enjoy a solar eclipse with nearly 90% totality!
