Boy Scout Troop 270

Whoops! Things that went wrong.....
Murphy's Law: If anything can go wrong.... it will. In all fairness, Troop 270 actually has very few things go wrong, due to the Troop's typically safe practices, constant oversight of the boys and their activities, and generally looking out for each other. However, it is fun to highlight the few things that do occasionally go wrong! Contributions are welcome!

A "whoops" prevented....
We would have had a blow-out
if Tom hadn't noticed the balding trailer tire
(Death Valley, February, 2007)

Northern Tier, 2009
Lou burns the handle off of
the crew's "dipping cup".

Lou also managed to burn his synthetic shirt
with fireplace embers....
The photos did not do the matter justice.

There was no time for a photo
But there should have been one taken of Lou
picking up dozens of fireplace matches
from the Huntington Beach Boardwalk
