First, all the scouts and adults met at the church, where we got into two cars and drove to a grocery store where we got the food for the trip. We then drove down to Warner’s Pond in West Concord. We then unloaded the gear from the car and got into 5 canoes. We paddled over to the island we were going to be camping on, and landed. Everybody brought the gear out of their canoes and we set up our tents. We had a lunch which we had brought, and then some down time. Then we went out to finish moving stuff. We (the kids) got in a canoe, and paddled around for a while, which was very nice due to the good weather and many islands. Then we stopped and docked at a point closer to the tents. We then got fuel for a fire, and once the fire was large enough, we made dinner, which was rice pilaf, meat, bread, and veggies. Then we had dinner a short time later, and everybody went to bed at around 9:00 p.m. We woke up in the morning and packed up our stuff, and had breakfast, which was scrambled eggs in a tortilla. We got the gear in the canoes, and cleaned up the site. We left at about 11:00 a.m. We got in the canoes and paddled back to the edge of the pond. Everyone loaded their stuff into the cars and put the canoes back on the truck, learning the truckers knot. We then drove over to Nashoba Brook Bakery where we had food and met our parents.
