Thunder over Utah campout:

Except for a little wind that picked up at the end, the Thunder over Utah campout was a huge success.   The boys provided 2 hours of community service - selling programs, and many boys finished their service requirements for Citizenship in the Community.   Zach Gierisch was our top program salesman.  Brother Gary Anderson provided supper and breakfast and his service is particularly appreciated.   The exhibits were great but the F-22 Raptor and Blue Angels and their F-18s were the highlights.  Thanks to Steve Gwilliam, our Assistant Scoutmaster and camping coordinator for facilitating this campout.  It was great to have a joint campout with the 11 year-old scouts. This was McKay Goldhardt's first overnighter and he did a fine job setting up own his tent.  
Participating leaders included Bishop Goldhardt and Brothers C. Warner, Larson, Simpkins, Gwilliams, G. Anderson, Meikle and Woodland.
