I just returned from Boy Scout camp. I have two sons in the program so the pressure is on me as a father to help out. I have good memories of scouting, but a disastrous eagle project left me sour – so sour I quit scouting and the award was never pinned on or presented.
As a father, however, I’d like to see my kids become eagle scouts. The weeklong camp was full of all the good stuff: rifle range, archery, fishing, canoeing and best of all a trading post with all the boondoggle you could buy. To my surprise, I found a lot of relaxation sitting under a shade tree and watching scouts run all over the mountainside from one merit-badge station to another. I even whittled on a few sticks for hours.
There’s not too much excitement in my life at the time. I’ll report on my July 4 experience if I have one.
