Feast of the Hunters' Moon- September 2008

This was a favorite of the scouts'. It is a Renaissance Fair featuring many things to buy,eat,and see. It is based on the hunters of the 18th century returning from the hunt.

We started out the day with retort eggs. These are easy to make and clean, and they taste good,too.




When we got to the feast, there were many things to see and do. One tent we enjoyed was this game tent, where we got to learn how to and play traditional games of the time period. Sadly, the instructor won every time!


There were also a few war re-enactments and bands. The music was good, and the gunshots got the boys' attention.

Everyone enjoyed the homemade, ice cold root beer. It had an amazingly unique flavor that quenched a thirst like no other. You also got to keep the glass.




The scouts got to view multiple races of 18th century canoes. They were entertaining to view and to notice the fine craftsmanship of the canoes.

The cannons were even more stunning then the gun fire. You could hear the "BOOM!" everywhere in the fair, and it was even cooler seeing it up close.


Once we got back from the feast, all the scouts were starving. For dinner, one patrol had pigs in a blanket, while the other had spaghetti. Both meals were both filling and delicious.

Finally, before hitting the sack, we ate a scout tradition- Black Forest Cobbler. Everyone loved it and it filled our stomachs.


This camp out was very successful, and a fun time was had by all.

Also, sorry about the wait on this post.
