2012 District Winter-Ree

The 2012 winter camporee was held January 20-21 at Camp Barton. Under the guidance of Brian O'Donell and Jim Graney, the Scouts had a day of engineering competitions outside, combined with hands-on activities from Robotics, Electricity and Engineering Merit Badges in the Mess Hall. Troop 55 took first place in the competitions.

 In the evening there was a "Wooden Chef" competition, with the theme ingredient being pasta. A very tasty Chicken Alfredo dish with bacon won. The evening ended with two videos, Medieval Seige Engine and The Wonderful World of Dung.


The "Code Red" group from Ithaca High School put on a Robotics Merit Badge program for our Scouts.
