Butte Creek Scout Ranch

On this campout, the main feature was the horseback ride through the forest, but it was not the only thing we did. There was fishing, a short hike, cooking, fort making, card games, and much more. This campout was very rainy, but we made it work. One way the troop adapted was the Falcon Patrol created a fourth wall to their Adirondack cabin, with a working pulley system to open and close the door. The next day, we walked over to the stables and had a long and informative talk with the wranglers about how to properly ride and treat the horses. Then we went on a 3-hour ride through the back country that was beautiful. Along the way, we played games such as trivia and categories. In the end, it was a very successful and fun outing.
