I SURVIVED MY WEEK AT BOY SCOUT CAMP WITH MY TWO GRANDSONS. TROOP 466 HAD 14 BOYS AND 5 ADULTS.THE CANVAS WALL TENTS AND COTS HAVEN’T CHANGED IN 50 YEARS.

AT MY AGE IT’S EASY TO FORM A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD TODAY'S YOUNG PEOPLE. THEY’RE ALL THUMBS AND VIDEO SCREENS, OBESE COUCH POTATOES. IT DID MY MIND AND HEART GOOD TO SEE 600+ SCOUTS RUNNING TO OUTDOOR CAMPING ACTIVITIES LEARNING SKILLS AND ENJOYING CAMP JUST AS I DID 50+ YEARS AGO AT CANYON CAMP BSA. IT’S FROM EXPERIENCES LIKE THIS THAT SPAWNS THE LEADERS OF THEIR GENERATION TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF THE WORLD AND LIFE.

MOST IMPORTANTLY I HAD A CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME TO BOND WITH MY GRANDSONS.
