At my camp, Camp Lassen in nothern Calif., after normal merit badge
instruction is over, we start what we call our "Afternoon Sparklers."
These are actvities, other then for advancement, for the boys to enjoy.
(Shotgun Shooting, Hoseback Riding, Free Swim, Wall Climbing". In the
evenings, we have are "Evening Sparklers" in which there are a variety of
things, camp wide and troop oriented. Some things we do include: Troop/
Patrol Competitions, Tenure based activites, Hoot-an-naany.
I was wondering if any of you have similar practices. I am interested in
updating some of our program. For the last five year, with the exception
of a couple of new program areas, we have not added that much to our
eveing program.
