KY-TN Conference Pathfinder Camporee--part 1

Our conference Pathfinder Camporee began on Thursday, October 23. Three of our Pathfinders were unable to attend, so our group consisted of seven Pathfinders, four staff, one staff kid, and three other adults. We left the church parking lot at about 12:30 p.m.

The camporee was held at Salt Lick Creek Campground which was about an hour and a half away--near Carthage. This is an Army Corp. of Engineers campground that is made available to our camporee after the campground closes for the winter. Our Pathfinder clubs have exclusive use of the campground for the camporee.

The day was cool but sunny. As soon as we selected our campsite, the kids found a pile of leaves to play in.

Next, everyone helped unload the trailer so we could set up camp.

Tents were set up. One tent for the girls,

and two tents for the boys.

Two additional tents were set up for staff and one for extra supplies.

A dining canopy was erected.

And, a screen tent put up for the cooking area.
