Gutterbird 10 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Here is my situation, this summer we are taking the troop on a 7 day camping trip to the Canadian Boundary Waters. The same week of our trip is my 20th wedding anniversary. The wife is going with us on the trip, since she is a Committee Member. Since we really cant be alone on this day, I have been trying to think of some celebration I can do boy scout style but coming up blank. Anybody been in a similar situation? Any ideas?

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Contact the Boundary Waters people, they must have had situations like this in the past, see what they can come up with Link to post Share on other sites

CalicoPenn 729 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Are you saying a 7-day trip in one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in North America isn't enough? Link to post Share on other sites

desertrat77 1144 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Ask the scouts to develop a special skit for the occasion. And congratulations! Link to post Share on other sites
oldisnewagain1 42 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 First off congratulations on 20 years! Secondly, congratulations on having a wife that is so supportive of Scouting! Thirdly, Do you think she could convince my wife (just kidding) But as to something special Boy Scout style, how about asking your PLC if they would consider doing something special for you both. I think they could surprise you with their resourcefulness. Now, that doesn't a excuse you for having something special planned also... Link to post Share on other sites
Gutterbird 10 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 All that sounds like some good ideas. Maybe I can get the SPL to officiate a renewal of the vows and I can rewrite the vows to make them scouting vows. I also plan on calling ahead to a local resort about getting some roses.
