What I liked on the trip:

1. I rode the Lochness Monster.

2. I went inside of the Curse of Darkastle

3. I rode the Griffon

4. I ate at the Trapped Smokehouse

5. I rode LE Catapult

6. I went on the Mach Tower

7. I went on Escape from Pompee

 

I went to Busch Gardens. I was with Mrs. Bell and Katie. Iate the Trapped Smokehouse. The food I ate there was a piece of chocolate cake and grapes and a cheeseburger. The funniest part of the trip was when the new scouts and I went on LE Catapult. This ride spin very fast and we had a fun time. Then I took the train to Caribou Train Station. We then rode the Lochness Monster which is my favorite ride. Then we presided to the Curse of Darkastle ride and had a spooktacular time. Then I rode the mother of all rides, The Griffon. We then went on the Mach Tower and then to Escape from Pompee. I rode in the middle.

What I did at the camp site was cook, sleep, and eat, and work on rank advancements for Tender. Will the new scout were doing it to. It was a fun time and all the scouts had a blast.

Yest I’m having fun – it’s Busch Gardens!

 

Below is Historian Report from Matt O.

The Busch Gardens trip is always a blast.  This time we camped at a place called Cheatham Annex which is a run by the Navy.  So there were guards with guns at the entrance gate and the adult leaders had to show ID to get in.  There must be something important going on at the base. But the important thing is that it is very close to Busch Gardens.   We had breakfast and lunch at the campsite.  Then the older scouts help instruct the New Scouts and younger scouts on skills.  But we were able to leave pretty soon after lunch to Busch Gardens and the Troop stayed until the park closed. We went on a lot of the rides.  We liked Griffin because there is a straight drop down.  Some of the lines were pretty long so we did not have time for every ride but we got on a bunch and had a great time walking around the park with our buddies. Amazingly, all the scouts made it back to the meeting place at the exit of the park by the deadline.  The next morning after breakfast and a service down by the river, we got back into the cars and most of us slept on the way back.
