Webelos Day Hike

We left at 7:15 am and headed North to Brookside, UT just North of Veyo. We met all the other Webelos in the district at the fire station where we signed in and received instructions for the day. Then the hike began down the road and along the creek until we came to some picnic areas on the South side of Baker reservoir. It was a cool place next to the lake. There were 4 rotations. First we built camp fires. Second we tied knots and learned to build a shelter using a tarp and the knots. Third we practiced "leave no trace", made a poster, and picked up some of the other picnic areas down the road (there was a lot and we even found a pair of underwear!!) Then fourth we made rope! Then the boys from the Order of the Arrow served us lunch of dutch oven potatoes, corn, and sloppy joes, followed by a few games that they played with us and some Indian dancing and brownies! Then we hiked back and drove home. It was a really fun day.
