On June 2-4, 2006, boys from Troop72.com of the Boy Scouts of America spent another great weekend camping on Scout Island. Due to schedule conflicts and flooding, it had been THREE YEARS since they've enjoyed this wonderful spot on the Chippewa River. The weather was spectacular -- moonlit nights, sunny days, and warm water. There was plenty of wood to chop, and many new boys earned their "Totin' Chip" in the ax yard. (We had SIX brand new boys on this campout!) Mr. Robb even brought two kayaks to let the boys try out a new way to paddle! Thanks to Troop 13 for letting us use their island! (Note: I tried using my lens hood on my FZ30 for most of these...not sure whether it made a difference, but thought I'd try it.) - Tom Arneberg (toma@troop72.com)
