We are volunteers of the Trail of Courage. We dress up like Pioneers. The troop has tons of fun, when we have participated. Our troop helps run the candle-dipping booth. We have to teach the children how to make candles, keep the fires under the kettles burning, and keep the wax level up in the kettles. This is also a fundraiser for our troop because we get part of the proceeds of what the booth makes. We have seen such activities, as early American and Indian skills, and wares such as broom making, spinning, candle making, flint knapping, Indian beadwork, basket weaving and more. We have enjoyed tasting a variety of foods ranging from buffalo burgers, Indian fry bread, venison stew, apple dumplings, to popcorn and potato chips made in big iron kettles. We have also gotten to enjoy watching people making Indian crafts, running an old time post office, storytellers, Frontier Blab School, and 18th century puppet show.
