We had a great trip to Phillippo.  About 35 attended (scouts and adults).  The weather was perfect, and the camp was awesome.  We'll be seriously considering using the camp for the Spring trip.  Great facilities and good location.

I whipped up the slideshow above.  Anyone with add'l photos, please email them to me (or give me a disk at the next pack/den meeting). 

Thanks again to all the help plan/organize/lead/clean....it was a real team effort.
