The Crew just returned from the combined Orca and Sinclair Districts' spring Camporee at Camp Hahobas. The highlight of the weekend was a reinactment of Lord Robert Baden-Powell's Siege of Mafeking, redeclared as Mission X...a late night series of challenges to test everyone's abilities in Scoutcraft in the dark. Devon's team (The Caffinated Campers) was declared the winner of several contest events and the overall winner for the Mission. Everyone was done by 0320 and arose on Saturday morning to some great breakfasts in the woods. Saturday afternoon turned into Stay-Dry Survival Camp, as Hahobas is located down by the Big Bend in the Hood Canal and it's unusual weather Convergence Zone...it poured mightily from late Saturday morning until after dark. Jeff, Bret, and Luke donned their Pacific Northwest native button blankets and treated everyone to a Haida and Lummi Indian "dance party", then called out the names of those Scouts who had been chosen by their Troops and Teams to join the Order of the Arrow. Over 300 youth and 30 adults attended.
