Troop 63 braved the chilly November weather and spent the weekend of November 15-17 at Camp Friedlander celebrating Scoutsgiving. Nestled in the hills of Clermont County, Ohio, Camp Friedlander is a sprawling Scout camp with a rich history dating back to 1919. Attending the Scoutsgiving weekend were Owen West, Luke Johnson, Beckett Shaw, Ethan Scott, Sam Miller, and new scouts Ryan Wood and Noah Fitch.
Scoutsgiving is a special tradition where Scouts gather together to give thanks for the blessings in their lives and celebrate the spirit of Scouting. It’s a time for fellowship, fun, and delicious food, all while embracing the values of kindness and community that are at the heart of Scouting.
On Saturday, the troop took a trip to the Cincinnati Museum Center to watch the epic dinosaur film T-Rex at the Omnimax. This immersive film experience takes viewers back in time to the Cretaceous period, where they come face-to-face with the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex and other prehistoric creatures. With stunning visuals and cutting-edge CGI, T-Rex brings these ancient giants to life on the giant screen.
Back at camp, the Scouts had a blast with a scavenger hunt around the grounds, exploring the campsites, the climbing tower, and the shores of the lake. As the sun began to set, everyone gathered for a delicious Scoutsgiving dinner of fried turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans.
It was a fun-filled weekend for all, and the troop is already looking forward to next year’s Scoutsgiving celebration!
