So a couple weekends ago Colton and I headed off to Cub Scout camp again. However this time it was different. This camp is called Webelo Woods and it is a camp to give the cub scouts (all 4th graders at this camp, all Webelo Ranked) a taste of what it is like to camp when you become a boy scout. Parents still get to go with but the boys don't tent with their parents but instead they set up their own tents and share that tent with another scout. Colton was very excited about this however when it came to bed time he had a minor meltdown and ended up in my tent. He cried cause he was disappointed in himself but it wasn't worth stressing him out over so we just made some moves and life went on. Saturday the boys went off with the older boy scouts while the parents were taken on a beautiful 2.5 mile hike around camp. Colton had so much fun being so independent. The boys were in charge of making their own meals (although they did still have a little help from the Troop Master)! We ate like kings, enjoyed many laughs and had an absolutely great time. The only draw back was the temps, it was a chilly weekend. We woke up to 31 degrees and frost covered grounds on Sunday morning but we didn't let the cold keep us from a good time!
Every time you go to camp it is expected that the boys do a service project. This camp they planted trees, between about 30 cub scouts they planted close to 100 White Pine Spruce Trees. Very proud of our cub scouts, way to give back boys!
