I went on my first Boy Scout event with my son. He "crossed-over" last month from Weblos to the Boy Scouts. I was a scout for a short time when I was young. I loved the camping. I hate to say however, I never made it to far....not sure why. My dad and brothers were all involved for a lot longer then I was. The crazy thing was......My dad and my brother Tim were in a troop together and my oldest brother and I were in another troop. Mike was just getting out as I joined....anyway...that's another story
I have to admit, these guys know what they are doing. They held an advancement weekend. It allowed scouts the time to focus on advancement and also give the new scouts a taste of camping. Now we stayed in cabins so it was not rough at all. In fact it did not rain...it was not cold....and I ate better then I ever did in Boy Scouts when I was a kid.
I really have respect for an organization that is all about turning boys into men. Cub scouts was a mommy thing....Boy Scouts, they told them right out...it was up to them. I am looking forward to watching Chris find his way. I went with him on this first trip, figuring he may need me....yeah right....barely saw him all weekend. He and his buddies had an excellent time. BTW, there are 110 boys in the troop.
