Leadership Henderson County Update

Leadership Henderson County 2009 traveled to Camp Mack Morris in Camden on Friday Feb. 27th,

where the group participated in Project COPE, a program of the West TN

Area Council Boy Scouts of America. Project C.O.P.E. (Challenging Outdoor Personal

Experience) is comprised of a series of outdoor challenges, beginning with

basic group initiative games and progressing to more complicated low-course and

high-course activities. Camp Director Shane Cooley led participants through a

variety of challenges that involved climbing, swinging, balancing, jumping as well

as critical thinking. It gave the group a chance to work on team building activities

and develop skills that focus on communication, trust, problem solving, leadership,

decision-making, self-esteem and teamwork. It was a wonderful experience that WAS challenging but

very worth the aches and pains that I endured the following weekend.
