scoutmom 10 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Well, my son came back today from his first Boy Scout camping trip. He had a great time and can't wait for the next trip. I was cold the first night (22 degrees) and he was not happy. He was cold and a little homesick and it was "horrible". Thank God Saturday got warmer and he had a terrific time. He rates it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10! LOL He was so excited and proud of himself he couldn't stop talking the whole way home. (about a 30 minute drive) It's nice to see his enthusiasm and his new found self-confidence. He's already asking his Troop leaders when they can plan a trip to Philmont! So, I think we have a Scouting addict on our hands. Hey, there's worse things to be addicted to! I wonder if there's a 12 Step program for Scouting..... (joke, that's a joke - please don't take offense anyone!) Link to post Share on other sites
scoutmom 10 Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 I tried to edit that but it told me I wasn't authorized. I meant to say "it" was cold the first night not I was cold. I was nice and warm at hime in my bed with my down comforter! Link to post Share on other sites
matuawarrior 10 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Good to hear your son enjoyed his first campout. I always tell my junior leaders if they invite anyone to any of our events, invite them to a campout. With one campout, I know they'll bite and join the unit. Parents who are invited to help out at a campout usually make it to all our outdoor events. Matua Link to post Share on other sites

ozemu 10 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Great news scoutmom. Something else I got from this forum was the addiction being called the 'scout pox': highly contagious and incurable. Sounds like your son is pretty crook. Link to post Share on other sites
