May Trip to Lums Pond State Park, Del.
Ralph the Roving Reporter explains "Kiss Your First Fish"

 


Ralph the Troop's Roving Reporter, reporting a very successful and enjoyable camping trip! Despite an early morning rain breakfast went off without a hitch, and afterwards a few of the adults led the scouts on a spirited hike. Fishing was the main theme for this month’s trip and the afternoon program was filled with it. The secret "Kiss Your First Fish" club was formed, and a number of new members were added to the elite group.  Included was the acting SPL, Patrick, who caught the very first fish of the day. A certain JASM, Matt, was a tremendous help to some of the younger scouts and I'm sure he had fun also (I understand he caught the most fish).  Only a few of the scouts and scouters had no luck that day, but we all still had a blast trying.  

“Thank You’s” go out to the Scouts, young and old, who made this trip enjoyable for all.

Update: From the Committee: Mr. Cliff had been at GBMC hospital, but is now at the Shock Trauma Unit of University Hospital.  He was not and is not in imminent danger; he was moved to consult with outstanding specialists at Shock Trauma.  He has had additional surgery on his foot at Shock Trauma on July 31.  He will be at Shock Trauma for at least another week.  I am sure he would love to receive a phone call from his Scouting friends. The phone number direct to his room is 410-328-4886.
