We have had a busy last 2 days, with the completion of regular merit badge classes and one called Honorary Warrior we have been busy. Our friends from Michigan had one called Brave who is now a new Warrior! Our boys watched with anticipation and excitement for Jacob. It has been a pleasure to help Mrs. Larson, Aidan's mother, become another Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
As of tonight, officially we have earned a combined 49 merit badges and the records are still updating. We should be close to 60 by the time we head back North on Tuesday. The boys are excited to see their families and we know you will enjoy seeing them too.
It will be hot so dress appropriately and wear good walking shoes as you will be drug all over the reservation. Thank you all for sending your boys down here and making this such a successful session once again. Everyone is keeping fit and hydrated as we come down the home stretch.
See you all soon.
Your Purple Chickens

End of Day 5

Day 5...The Fifth Day!!!`
Good morning Purple chicken families.. Last night, Night 4, we had Call Night!!! The night was filled with excitement and wonder. As the Tribesmen of the Great Tribe of Mic-O-Say circled into the council ring the tension built.. The Circle Will never be Broken.... Our boys sat in excited anticipation. When the Medicine man finally spoke and the call was heard... 8 Purple Chickens were called into the ring to begin their trials to become full members of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. This morning we woke with 8 new Foxmen!!! Congratulations to John S, Jared A, Aidan Q, Logan S, James F, Alex A, Justin C, & Brendan T! Over the next year they will be watched to see if they are meeting the requirements given them.
In other news the other 6 scouts are still having a great time. There is fun, excitement, and a game of kick the bottle.. The dust is flying and everyone is having a great time! We are currently under a county wide burn ban so there was not even a fire in the council ring last night. We are hoping for rain!!! Keep reading and your leaders will be attempting to keep you informed of the highlights. Remember to come to Family Day ready to listen to the excited chatter of your scout, or scouter!!!
