MORE CAMP PHOTOS

I HAD A COUPLE OF REQUESTS FOR MORE CAMP PHOTOS AND STORIES.

DID IT RAIN?

YUP, THREE DAYS WE HAD SHORT SHOWERS, AND ONE LATE NIGHT THUNDER STORM. THANK GOD WE HAD ONE MOM IN CAMP TO CODDLE THE CRY BABY.

HOW WAS THE FOOD?

IT WAS CAFATERIA SERVICE, AND THE FOOD WAS ALL HEAT AND SERVE KID FOOD ITEMS. DIDN’T SEE A MUSHROOM, ONION, SWISS CHEESE, OR A COLD BEER ALL WEEK.

ANY WILDLIFE STORIES?

ONE LATE NIGHT RACCOON VISITED WHEN SOME SNACK ITEMS WERE LEFT OUT INSTEAD OF BEING LOCKED UP IN THE TROOP TRAILER. THANK GOD WE HAD ONE MOM IN CAMP TO CODDLE THE SAME CRY BABY, WHO WAS AFRAID OF COONS AS WELL AS THUNDER. THERE WAS ALSO A WEEK LONG WILDLIFE SCAVENGER PHOTO HUNT WHICH TROOP 466 WON DUE TO PICTURES OF A WILD TURKEY, AND WHITE TAILED DEER. GOOD JOB SCOUTS !

WAS IT HOT?

OH MY YES, AND IT’S NOT A DRY HEAT. I HAVEN’T SWEAT LIKE THAT FOR YEARS.

ANYTHING ELSE WORTH MENTIONING?

THE STAFF INCLUDED SEVERAL FEMALE MEMBERS. I’M NOT SURE IF I’D ALLOW MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO BE A STAFF MEMBER AT A BOY SCOUT CAMP FOR THE SUMMER? WOULD YOU?

AMENITIES?

THE BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES WERE ALL TOP RATED. THE DINNING HALL WAS AIR-CONDITIONED, AS WELL AS THE EAGLE’S NEST, WHICH IS AN ADULT LOUNGE AND MEETING AREA. THE MONEY COMES FROM CORPORATE SPONSERS IN THE CINCINNATI AREA.

DID I GET MY STEPS?

AS YOU KNOW I CARRY A PEDOMETER WITH THE DAILY GOAL OF 10,000 STEPS. IN THE SIX DAYS AT CAMP I HAD JUST OVER 90,000 STEPS.
