From Aug. 4 through Aug. 6, the Baden-Powell Council of the Boy Scouts of America ran their annual Resident Camp program at Camp Barton in Trumansburg, NY. Six boys and five adult leaders from Pack 48 attended this year's camp. Scouts from Apalachin, Dryden, Ithaca, Newfield and other regional towns were also present.

The theme of this year's program was "Pirates of the Bartonian", with all the camp staff dressing in pirate costumes, singing pirate songs and acting out pirate skits. The scouts were trained as members of the pirate crew. They competed at tug of war, cannonball passing and flooding an enemy ship. They also learn how to board a ship using a swing or a makeshift bridge.
