Shots fired! 

This week has been a challenging week for the leadership of this troop. It was revealed at this evening's flag ceremony that our troop currently sits in 3rd position in the race to bring home the thumbstick (an award that is earned daily by the best troop through a variety of criteria). Each day, the winning troop adds their decoration to the thumbstick with the overall winner taking the thumbstick home as a trophy.

This group is constructing an "on the fly" rope bridge, something they've only done with anchor stakes, larger rope and a plan.
