stick myself with a chisel than in what I was actually carving.

<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Subject:</span></b> [Elfsea] Thank you for
putting on a great demo for the boy scouts<br>
</span></font><br>
Thank you to the folks who helped out the Boy Scouts at the very wet Camporee /
Viking Demo on Saturday, April 17, 2010 at Worth Ranch. It went very
well, and I'm hoping someone got a picture of hordes of boy scouts in horned
helms. We thank Scout Leader Mike Maughan for inviting us to the event. <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks to Lord Daniel and HLy Pyro and Master Cailan and Don Sebastian
and his wife, who assisted 400+ greatful boys on the archery range in the mud
and rain. Thanks also go to the boy scouts for pushing Caelin and
Sebastian's vehichles out of the mud and muck, after they sank into the archery
range.<br>
<br>
At the Iron Working (blacksmithing) demo 60+ older boy scouts completed the
iron working project, a belt hanger for a mug. Thanks to Master Eisen for the
suggestion of a project, which taught the basics of blacksmithing in 10-15
minutes. HLd Polydore Pike, Baron Daire, and myself stayed very
busy that day. We were assisted by HLd Gerhardt and m'lady Cassandra. Thank you
everyone for helping in the forge. <br>
<br>
Thanks to Mistress Catarina and Lady Elaine for teaching Viking wire
weaving and Mistress Hanna for teaching a Viking rope making game. The younger
boys were kept busy between their other events. <br>
<br>
Thank you to Padraig Ruad O'Maolagain for entertaining the boys by
demoing peweter casting all day.<br>
<br>
Thanks to HLd Cathal and Gerhardt, who demonstrated their prowess in the
chivalric arts. <br>
<br>
Thanks to HLy Genevieve and all the others for showing up in Viking outfits to
help with the atmosphere and answering the boys questions.<br>
<br>
I apologize if I've left anyone out, for there were many of us at the
Camporee. I mostly tended a forge fire, teaching blacksmithing in 10
minutes or less with Polydore and Daire, wearing a good deal of soot at the end
of the day.<br>
