Cub Scout Camp Pt. 2

Last weekend, Scott took Chase camping with his scout pack again. This time, the Boy Scout troop ran the whole thing. They cooked all the meals and were also in charge of the activities. Chase is in Cub Scouts until February, when he'll move up to Boy Scouts.

They also went on a 3 mile hike.


So far scouts has been a great thing for Chase to be involved in. He plays baseball in the summer, but when that ended last fall we looked around for something for him to join. He didn't want to play any other sports so I tried to contact a scout troop in our area. Nobody ever got back to me.

We moved on with our school year, and then later in September a friend from church mentioned her son was in scouts. It turned out it was a homeschool troop and they also offered Girl Scouts on the same day, at the same location. Score!

So I enrolled Chase in Cub Scouts and Brenna in Brownies. He has loved it ever since. He is very creative and inventive, and he really gets to put those qualities to use within the troop. It's been a great match for him.

When our girls were younger I also tried to only sign up for things that they could both attend at or near the same time and at or near the same location! It sure makes it easier on the schedule! SCORE, for sure. WAY TO GO!

AND these are lovely photos too! The skies are very different here, we see that clear blue most often in the mornings, and not a lot of those puffy white clouds.

I know you're not posting these for me, but I can pretend!
