March 2019 – Lumberjack campout

On March 16, 2019 Troop 71 went on a lumberjack campout. At 8:00 am the troop left for Hoyt Scout Reservation in Redding, CT. When we arrived at Hoyt we brought our gear from the vehicles and the trailer to the campsite. We then played gaga ball until it was time to make lunch. Gaga ball is a game where everyone gets in a gated circle and throws a ball in the air, after the ball hits the ground 3 times people start hitting it at each other. If the ball hits your knee or below you are out.
