Lon's CAMP REPORT FOR WEEKEND OF AUGUST 26, 2022
  • Troop 1954 San Marcos Boy Scouts - Mr. Spencer LeBxel Troop Master
  • 16 members of the troop camped out at the McBride Wilson Youth camp.
  • In addition to camping they helped Jonathan Allen work on his Eagle Scout Project rebuilding the log steps going down to river.
  • They also repaired the broken pipes at the shower. Shower was very important since there was no water in river.  It was 98 degrees when I was observing them working on steps on Saturday.
  • They also picked up rocks and make a large ring around the Fire Barrel. Jonathan  and his brother will bring trailer to Lon's house to get road material he is giving them.  Road Material will be used to place between the logs in making steps and also in the ring of rocks around the Fire Barrel to prevent catching grass on fire.
