This summer has been full of camping. We have been going every week end or so; fishing, exploring new places, camp grounds, swimming beaches, historic sites, and festivals. Also, on top of that, or somewhere in there, I went to Girls camp last week and Robin Hood went to Camp arrow head, ( a scout camp). Last year he had to " Chew-on-a-key."
This year Robin hood came back from camp with better leader ship skills then before. He's senior patrol leader.
I'm going to be part of the Boy Scouts, too- Mom and I are going to help start a community Venture Scouts troop.
( Surprise, surprise, Grandpa!).
I am going to start a girls venture troop so I can go to Philmont. Wouldn't you like that? They allow girls in Philmont if they are venture scouts. Venture scouts can be boys and girls now, although, not at church. I really want to go to a horse trek and work at the stables next summer at Philmont. However, The girls Venture Troop will take time and work to start. It will be fun though. It will focus on outdoor leadership and personal talents/career goals and making our own businesses. But mostly it's about going to Philmont every year.
I've been in Girl scouts before, but all we did was sell cookies and go to theme parks; while Robin hood gets to have C.O.P.E. (ropes course,) and swim, practice archery, canoeing, rock climbing, and all that. Who wants to sell cookies in a card board box instead of that? And standing up for faith and family and God is a nice thing, too.
