The annual spring Advancement Camp on June 17-19, 2016 at Camp Wilson; the youth camping area of Pohick Bay Regional Park in Lorton, VA.  Both older scouts and new scouts attended the fun weekend.   The new scouts were able to work on their Totin' Chip, Firem'n Chit, and other rank requirements.

The boys cooked several delicious meals.  They practiced using the backpack stoves and created a quick lunch that would be good on a hike.   For dinner, they cooked Chili Mac over the open fire using a dutch oven.  Dinner got rave reviews and the recipe can be found with in the Troop 624 Recipe book.

All the scouts enjoyed a 5 mile hike around Camp Wilson and the Pohick Bay area.   The following are pictures from the hike.
