Historian's notes
The Zombie Camporee (October 13th-15th) was a blast. After arriving at Alpine, there was a search for the lean tubes before resting for the night. Following the next morning, the Pavilion was open and later orders were given to the troop. These orders consisted of various activities, from crossing water using two boards, to rope tying it was a challenge in many significant ways. However, success awaited at the end of the day, coupled with some food from the mess hall. All in all, a wonderful trip for the troop (with some sweet green decor).
