<\/a>We started the month off with our annual Iron Chef camp out.\u00a0 This year we headed to Camp Ockanickon in Buck’s County.\u00a0 It wasn’t all about cooking, we had a chance to go on a hike, practice our outdoor skills, play some GaGa and just have fun!\u00a0 This year’s IC pitted members of the Titans and the Council of Ricks\u00a0 against the older, more seasoned veterans from the Venomous Cobras and the Border Patrol.\u00a0 The theme this year was Cinco de Mayo.\u00a0 The two teams began cooking their appetizers, entrees and desserts at 4 p.m. in order to be ready to present to the judge at 6:30.\u00a0 At 5, the secret ingredient – chocolate – was introduced.\u00a0 The Titans\/Ricks were lead by Justin and his sous chef Zach.\u00a0 They began their presentation with their appetizer of chips and homemade guacamole, followed by their entree of tacos with fried tortilla shells and a rice side dish.\u00a0 They topped it all off with an amazing apple dump cake for dessert and had Nick’s famous lemonade to wash it all down.\u00a0 Not to be outdone, the Cobras\/BP presented their cheese covered nachos with salsa for their first course.\u00a0 George did a great job explaining the dish and its nuances.\u00a0 Their entree was then unveiled – a chicken enchilada – followed by a dessert of a glazed donuts covered with chocolate, bananas and whipped cream.\u00a0 Carrying through the Cinco de Mayo theme, they had virgin sangria for a beverage.\u00a0 It was a very difficult decision but in the end, the Ricks and Titans emerged victorious with their homemade touches putting them over the top even though the judges were heavily swayed by the enchiladas and dessert.\u00a0 It was a great competition and the Scouts did a great job mastering their cooking skills.\u00a0 This is a Troop 200 tradition where the scouts learn skills that will help them in their futures.<\/p>\nWe were happy to celebrate the accomplishment of one of our Scouts, Dillon, at his Eagle Court of Honor held at Camp Tecumseh.\u00a0 You can learn more about his project here<\/a>.\u00a0 Dillon became our 88th Eagle Scout.\u00a0 Congrats again, Dillon!<\/p>\n On May 7th we held a Flag Retirement Ceremony at Holjes-Sheppard Park in Lebanon Borough.\u00a0 It was an amazing event with over 150 people attending including members of the military, <\/a> members of Rolling Thunder and other veterans groups, local Cub Scouts, friends, family and community members.\u00a0 Mayor Reino from Lebanon Boro unveiled the new POW flag that will fly in the park.\u00a0 Our former Scoutmaster and local flag expert, MOAT Friend was on hand to share some of his flag knowledge with us.\u00a0 Mark Paradis, a veteran, played TAPS on his bugle.\u00a0 It was just an amazing night…and what made it even more special to us was the fact that it was in the Park that is named in honor of two of our scouts – Fred Holjes and Robert Sheppard – who were both killed in Vietnam.\u00a0 May 7th marked the 48th anniversary of Robert’s death.\u00a0 We want to thank everyone who came out, who donated flags and supported us during this very special ceremony and look forward to next year’s event.<\/p>\n
