Our Scouts braved spooky cemetaries, learned about Georgia's unique marine life and geology, teamed up with Pirates and generally had a great time in Savannah, never letting the rain slow them one bit. Thanks also goes to all our parents who brought their Scouts & families.
Despite the rain, coyotes & skunks, a great time was had by all. We had new families & new leadership as well as all the old familiar faces. A big hand goes to Daniel Holloway, our Food Coordinator and to Tom Costin, our 2009 Camping coordinator for organizing another successful campout at Appletree!

2008 Spring Cub-O-Ree: Bert Adams Scout Reservation
Aside from the rainy weather (which actually served to decrease the turnout), the Scouts who came had a fun day shooting BB guns, making crafts, and playing games. We also had fun spending the day with Miss Ruby (Rubeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)!!!
We had a nice picnic lunch at Cheaha State Park followed by a fun afternoon at DeSoto Caverns Park. Sleeping overnight in the caverns was a unique experience: 60 degrees with 100% humidity (felt like 70) with occasional drips from the cave formations during the night. In the morning, the leaders cranked out flapjacks to the masses.
This was our first year using race software which was very successful. The top 3 finishers were separated by only 3/100 of a second! Lots of help went into the setup and running this year, and a good time was had. Thanks to all our set help, race staff, and concessions staff.
