Camp Mamanowatam

This is a picture of our local Boy Scout Troop’s campsite.  The official name is Mamanowatam but we have affectionately called it “Mama don’t want em”.  This place has really become very important to me in the past 7 years because I have spent so much of my time there.  Besides the countless times I have spent the night here camping, I learned most of the skills that have made me a better person.  I have many memories from this place that will stay with me forever.  This picture is of the scouts putting a new building on the property.  This will serve as a “Scout House”.  For some of the older scouts and leaders such as me, the scout house is a dream come true.  We have always wanted one but never had the funds to do it.  After many years of saving and tons of donations, we finally got enough money to start building.  We decided to make it a group project and got the building as a kit so the troop could work on it together.  This is one of the many days that we got together to work on it before the winter.  We will resume building when the weather finally cooperates.
