Hello Troop 24 Family and Friends,

It’s FRIDAY!!!!!!!  Last Day of Camp and the scouts are in crunch mode to get their merit badges done.  They are squeezing in their last bits of fun amongst packing.  We had a great day on Thursday with open water front swimming, chess tournament, and COPE and climbing.  Today is another great weather day, a cool summer day, slightly overcast with a nice breeze.  Tonight we finish with a Camp wide Campfire and awards ceremony.  The scouts will be sleeping under the stars tonight after enjoying our Troop 24 slide show of the hundreds of photographs taken by the leaders and parents.  We will see you tomorrow late afternoon at the Hauser parking lot.  Camp equipment will be sent home with the scouts for cleaning to be returned on Thursday, July 27 at 7pm at RPC.  Until tomorrow enjoy a few of the photographs………………………….  Smile Tesomas

Good Day Troop 24 Family and Friends,

It’s another glorious day at Camp Tesomas.  The scouts are working hard to finish their merit badges and partaking in everything that Camp has to offer.  We had scouts sailing the calm waters of Crystal Lake as well as diving its depths.  Last night we had the privilege to watch the Order of Arrow Call Out Ceremony.  In February, our very own Pachsegink Lodge conducted elections at Troop 24 and last night the scouts learned the results of the election during the ceremony, much to their suprise.  Congratulations to our Troop 24 Scouts elected to the Order of Arrow, Pachsegink Lodge.

We are winding up our week here at camp.  Tonight we will participate in the Chess tournament and several of our scouts continue to train for the Mile Swim.   Until tomorrow………………..  Smiley Tesomas

Good Day Troop 24 Family & Friends,

It’s a perfect Wednesday at Camp Tesomas.  The weather gods were looking out for Troop 24, parted yesterday’s storms around Camp Tesomas and spared us.  Today it is absolutely perfect, low 80’s and not a cloud in the sky.  Yesterday saw our scouts climbing the tower, shooting clays, building baskets and of course, swimming and sailing the waters of Crystal Lake.  Last night was Pizza night at the campsite followed by free time to take is some shooting sports and watch the chemistry demonstration at the Ecology camp fire.  Some of our leaders were working hard while others are just hanging around.

Everyone is having a great time as you can see from these few photographs.  Until tomorrow……………………  Smiley Tesomas

Good Morning Scout Family and Friends!!!!!!!

It’s Tuesday morning and we awoke to a beautiful sunrise at 6:00 am.  We had an exciting Monday in more ways than one.  Everyone is doing well and having a good time.  We have scouts doing everything at camp from scuba diving to the bottom of the lake to skirting through the trees on zip lines.  Last night saw us participating in the camp scavenger hunt and games, and winding down with a Troop 24 campfire.  The scouts are hard at work on their merit badges and rank advancements.  Tonight is our favorite pizza dinner and evening in camp.  Unfortunately, the threat of rain looms over us today so we are likely going to get wet.   Oh well, all part of the summer camp experience.  Enjoy a few photographs of your scouts.  Until tomorrow……………………

HI Troop 24 parents and friends!!!!!!!

It’s a beautiful day here at Camp Tesomas in Rhinelander WI.  Your scouts woke up to a balmy 47 degree morning and not a cloud in the sky.  After a morning breakfast of pancakes and bacon everyone headed off to their merit badges and activities.  The leaders are taking advantage of the many training classes offered to enhance their scout skills.

We enjoyed the Tesomas Opening Camp Fire and skit night last night before turning in for the night.  We are looking forward to a fun camp game night with scavenger hunts and astronomy hikes.  Everyone is having a great time!!

That’s all for now……

Smiley Tesomas.
