At the Freeze-O-Ree, Scouts spent two nights in a large, heated cabin and spent time participating in various activities such as a shelter building competition, a hike to the Halfmoon Lake, and card games. Requirements for Scouts were also signed off, and a food competition was hosted, with Phoenix patrol winning with their fried rice. All in all, it was a successful campout and Scouts had lots of fun.
