Scouts -- or boys are crazy!

Jonny and Steven both went camping on Friday, but not together. Steven went with his 11 year old scout troop. They camped in Deception Pass State Park (just down the hill) and did a service project. He had a blast and came back with a huge smile on his face. Steven now has his 2nd class in Boy Scouts and is really loving it.

Jonny on the other hand, went with the older scouts on his first snow camp ever. It was just warm enough to rain and rain it did everyone was getting soaked. Jonny was pretty well off since he had his sailing foul weather gear with him. Several of the boys had good warm clothes, but once they were wet, they got cold. Jonny kept checking on the boys and asking them math questions to make sure they were ok. One of the boys was cold, shaking, and couldn't even tell the difference between a sleeping bag and a sleeping pad. He sent him home. Jonny said he didn't sleep at all. He kept checking on the boys through the night and waiting for their snow caves to cave in on them. He had brought several extra sleeping bags. This turned out to be a good thing. Some of the boys' bags got wet. Yet, surprisingly enough, he too came home with a huge smile on his face. He said that was the most fun he had had in a long time ... BOYS!!! He is already making plans on how to make it better next year.

We finished the day by going to the Cub Scout Dessert Auction. It was a fund raiser for Cub Scout Day Camp. It was fun and they met their goal . They had some fun creative desserts.
