We’re hitting the road to summer camp!!! Yeah! Time for some high adventure for my little city slickers. As Cub Scouts they’re not going to rough it like Boy Scouts just yet. We will be in tents with sleeping bags but they’re not on the ground. They will be on concrete platforms with cots. At least it’s not cabins so they will still get the adventurous feeling.

They have been looking forward to this for more than a year. We missed out last year but we’re doing it now. We’re only taking two, my son and another Cub which works well for me and my Assistant Cubmaster. We have found what I’ve always believed to be true. Not having large numbers of boys in our Pack isn’t a big deal because the ones who show up are getting effective training and are making progress towards ranks. And that’s the point in the end.

Where’s the Scouting unit closest to you? C’mon Mom and Dad. Sign your son up now and give him the opportunity to learn things you can’t teach him and give him some great experiences that you may not be able to provide. It’s a big world out there and we Scouters help them to see it by providing plenty of outdoor adventures ready for them to explore. We always need other adult volunteers to help us help your kids as well so sign yourself up today too and find a roll to play. Until then, we’ll tell you all the cool stuff you missed when we get back.
