All is well at Kia Kima Scount reservation. We arrived at 11:30 and
set up for lunch. Lunch was excellent thanks to the ladies auxiliary.
We got our campsite all set up hand had time to rest. We have two
home sick scouts and one throwing up right before dinner. All is well
as we got them somewhat rehydrated and they are asleep. No injuries
yet. Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and salad for dinner. They
have a PB&J bar at lunch and breakfast for those scouts who dont like
what they serve.
The adult camp is separate from the boys separated by the shower and latrine.
Sorry not much to report
Goodnight

One scoutmaster got swim rescue training.
Scouts getting in uniform for boards of review
Some still home sick
We have been trying to build fires for two hours with not success, it's not as easy as it looks, the problem is the scouts add too much impatience to the recipe
Hey Mr H do you need me for anything? No why do you ask, oh im just going to bed and wanted to check first.
Camp gadgets:
Flag pole
Bulletin board
First aid tripod
That's all for now

Wed, July 4th.
Happy fourth of July
French toast, chicken patty sandwich, chicken fingers
Our day started off with mail call. We got this one letter that the addressee's name was illegible. After closer examination we found that it was sealed with a red kiss. We decided that this could not be a letter suitable for a scout so the scoutmasters drew straws to see who would get the letter.........
Very hot today, heat index 110 degrees
Space exploration built rockets to launch tomorrow
Robotics programmed their robots today
Climbers rappelled 60 ft today
Scoutmaster taught fly fishing today and several of our scouts caught fish
Sailers capsized today and recovered safely
The scouts in nature gave the leaders a lecture in fire safety
A very tall scout row row rowed his boat in circles 
OUT scouts returned to camp today, two visited the infirmary and were released
We performed the flag lowering before dinner tonight, and in celebration of the forth our boys set off fireworks. In honor of the men and women who gave their life for our freedom, our troop bugler blew taps while we all bowed our heads in silence. We then lowered the flag and said grace.
Seven of our leaders turned into lunch ladies today and served dinner in record time.
We all went to church and as part of the service the declaration of independence was read aloud.
A talent show was held tonight. We put on two skits and sang the shaving cream song. Then the last act was two of our scouts playing and singing freebird, it was great.

All in all a great day at camp
Andy
