It has been a couple of weeks $ince our . last article and a lot of activity has taken place. On April 12 the troop and post took part in a state conservation program by planting 500.trees at the Thunderbird hunting and fishing grounds. When all the trees were planted the remainder of the weekend was spent in a camp-out. Thunderbird, by the way, is our troop's favorite camping area and I am sure this gave the boys a little extra incentive when it came to planting the trees. This last weekend the troop and post participated in Scout- O-Rama. The troop had a booth on the Camping Merit badge which consisted of scale models of our Thunderbird campsite. Each patrol was responsible for coming up with a design and means of construction. Everything from toothpicks to real live moss was used. I think Someone even borrowed Stu Boak's favorite mirror and converted it into a lake. , The public was asked to vote On the model they thought was the most original and best constructed. Results of this election will be aimouced at a later <)ate. The Explorer post had a booth (91 the Rifle and Shotgun merit badge and anyone who visited tjie show knows how popular this display was.
