Camping with Brady

Randy took Brady camping at Huntsville State Park to work on some remaining requirements for his First Class rank in Scouts.  Brady did amazing (as usual)!  He demonstrated his mastery of knots and lashings, orienteering, first aid, fire building, and outdoor cooking.  And he had lots of fun doing it.

This is definitely the BEST campsite at Huntsville SP.

They said this instant breakfast wasn't so bad.
