My experience with the pumpkin launching was fun, we got to make
and boil homemade donuts, launch pumpkins, play some games, and learn
about first aid, hiking, and pitching a tent!
The pumpkin
chuckin was wonderful. there were pumpkins that launched 60 feet away,
some that went strait up, and some wacky throws. The doughnuts were deep
fried in a pot of boiling oil and it tasted great!
When
we were learning with new scouts we first talked about orienteering and
how to work a compass we walked to three hidden markers and then walked
back. Second after we ate doughnuts, we did first aid and what we
should do in case of a snakebite, sprained ankle, and showed how to
treat it. Third we were going to show how to pitch a tent but we didn't
have enough time so we all went home.
