Camp Lazarus, Ohio.

On this seemingly innocent evening, scouts of Troops 268 and 243 travelled to Camp Lazarus, where they set up for the night in two cabins.

The next morning, electronic equipment was set up in a third building, and the mayhem began.

Under the influence of these so-called electronic 'toys', the scouts left a trail of destruction. Wrecked cars. Dead bodies. Severely injured sports players. Smashed guitars. Flamed pokémons. Exploded tanks, aircraft and ships. Bowling alleys, football fields and basketball courts laid waste. Nothing was safe from their virtual rampage. The adult leaders were powerless to stop this.

All through the day, more electronic engines of mass destruction were deployed.

The slaughter and destruction continued through the day.

Meanwhile, the troop adult leaders had managed to set up a laptop to receive broadcast HD TV signals, and project them onto a sheet hung on the wall. It only took two trips to the store to get the right equipment!

Once this was done, the college football was running all afternoon and evening, as a bunch of OSU fans waited to see if their team could make it to the BCS Championship Bowl Game.

Of course, you can't kill virtually thousands of people on a virtually empty stomach, so real food was something that needed to be cooked.

To round off the evening meal, Robert celebrated his birthday.

Troop 268 has a Contraband Campout once each year, where we take along all the things that are normally not allowed on camp-outs, such as video games, and enjoy a weekend of these forbidden pleasures!

Virtually no-one was injured in the making of this web page.
