November 21 Campout - Thanksgiving Classic
November 2021 - Thanksgiving Classic Campout
11-12-2021 to 11-14-2021
On November 12 to 14, 2021, Troop 46 went to Camp Big Timber in Elgin, IL to hold their yearly Thanksgiving Classic campout. They immediately started setting up their tents when they arrived at the Camp Big Timber; it was cold approximately 25 degrees Fahrenheit. They were instructed by one of the friendly rangers about the area, and afterwards decided to head to bed.
The next day, Saturday, they checked out the spacious lodge and hung around inside playing card games, practicing skits and prepping for the dinner that was to come later that night.
Many parents and families came out to partake in the dinner the scouts had set up.
The food that was prepared for everyone was smoked turkey, pulled pork, and a variety of other delicious goods, all made by Mr. and Mrs. Ciske, and deserts were brought by the families who came.
Afterwards to finish off the night, they had everyone go to the firebowl to watch the scouts perform skits and retire flags.
On Sunday, the scouts woke up to cold winds the made it difficult to stand outside, but regardless they still managed to take down their tents successfully. The scouts next took down everything inside the lodge, which didn’t take as long since it was indoors. Afterwards, they were finished and ready to go back home, so they circled up outside and went around to say what everyone liked and disliked about the campout, and started the drive back to Glen Ellyn.
