Wilderness Merit Badge
For the second year in a row, I worked on my Wilderness Survival merit badge. That's where you make your own shelter and sleep out all night with no sleeping bag or food. I was pretty cold and hungry the next morning, but I sure had fun.

Rifle Shooting Merit Badge
I hung out with Amos but also did some fishing and shooting at the rifle range. I am three shots away from earning my Rifle shooting merit badge. The last night of camp, 14 of us decided to stay up all night. I slept 18 hours after I got home.
