My Favorite Scout Experience

My favorite scout experience was going to scout camp in Puyallup. Some of the activities we did included shooting guns, shooting bows and arrows, carving soap, and making wooden whistles. We went to camp from 9:00 in the morning until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. We had to bring a sack lunch and we would eat with our group that we did the activities with. On the the last day of camp they brought a dunk tank. That was pretty cool and the water was freezing cold. We had to prepare a skit to perform on the last day of camp. Our families were able to come watch the skits. This camp was fun and I was able to learn a lot of new things.
