Packed

Today was packing day. When you head off to Boy Scout Summer Camp, you have to bring a lot of things with you. Much of what you bring with you is stuff the boys should be bringing but forget: paper, pens, band-aids, and so on. But I"ve also got to bring along a lot of "Scout Stuff". Some of what I do as Scoutmaster is teach and train the new boys in the ways of scouting. They'll want to learn how to tie knots, so I bring along practice ropes. They'll want to know how to use a map and compass, so I bring along my compass and topographic maps. If it were just me going, I'd bring along my chair, my book, and a cup of coffee.

I'll get to loaf some - well, make that a lot - but I'll also be a Scoutmaster.
