The October Ordeal at Camp Wisdom was held October 16-18. Canupa Chapter Chief and Bistro Youth Lead, Jacob Smyth, and Michael Mynxx cooked up some good food!!! Mr. J smoked some pork loin that was really, really tasty!!

Canupa Chapter One Day of Service

Our One Day of Service was a huge success. We participated in the Cedar Creek Cleanup and had a good showing. Afterwards, we went to the park for hot dogs and BBQ sandwiches. And we got a cool blue t-shirt, too!!

August Ordeal Recap

August was hot, but Camp Constantin was so cool!! Here are our new Canupa Chapter brothers who took their ordeal that weekend. We are so glad to welcome them to our chapter. Hope to see you all at chapter meetings at 7:30 pm on the second Tuesday of each month at First United Methodist Church in Canton.

MY SCOUT JOURNEY

From Tiger Cub in grade one,

TO a soaring Eagle, a long trail I've run.

I traveled through Bobcat, Wolfe, Bear, and Webelos too,

Before I crossed over to see BSA view.

I took the Tenderfoot path which wasn't too far,

Leading to rank: Second, First,then Star.

One more rank, Life, before I soar high,

Like an Eagle up in the sky.

The journey was long and rough at times.

But I wouldn't trade it for any other kind.

Let me encourage each Scout here,

To pass this message on year after year.

May your journey be of 'Happy Trails'

Until you, too can like an Eagle sail

Dakota's ceremony was great!!!

October Ordeal at Camp Wisdom

Okay, all you Canupa members! We are having our October Ordeal this weekend and not very many of US have pre-registered...I hope that you plan to show up on Friday night.
The weather is promising to be beautiful with lots of sunshine, cool temperatures, and DRY conditions. I am making lots of cookies Friday night...so please come to the ordeal! You need to check in with me or Mr. Johnson in the kitchen so that we will know for sure who attends. See you tomorrow.....just follow the smell of the fresh baked cookies!

Campfire

But the best part of the weekend was the campfire!!!!

Oak Leaf Weekend

Cherokee District held the annual Oak Leaf Training at Camp Cherokee during the weekend of January 31-February 1. The training was a HUGE success. We had 31 youth participants from three districts: Cherokee, Grey Owl, and Tomahawk. Staff participation included 25 youth staff and 13 adult staff from Cherokee and Grey Owl districts. The weather was perfect, even though a little chilly at night, and the fellowship was outstanding. We had an awesome camp fire on Saturday night, followed by ice cream at the cracker barrel!
