The 2013 Rise Up Encampment

Each of the boys earned his Thomas S. Monson Award.  Calvin is shown here wearing his.

Boys at the BMX bike track.  There were so many broken arms that the track had to be tamed down a bit.



The event featured an air show.

The event also had inflatable games


Bro. Floyd turned the back of his truck into the red-neck hot tub.

The Staker boys took out some frustrations.
10,000 Scouts become quiet for the flag ceremony.  Amazing!



Each night featured a program and show.





Most nights were taken up by playing chess.

The Encampment was a tent city.






Other games were available for the boys to compete in.





Brother Taylor and Brother Braithwaite battled for king of the hill.  Mostly we just tried to catch our breath.
