Scout Camp

It was Johnny's first Scout Camp this past week. Dad got to go for most of camp and he says both boys enjoyed themselves quite a bit. John in particular. They haven't been very loquacious ever since they got back.

So John, what did you do at Scout Camp?

"I earned a bunch of merit badges. OK? Stop bothering me."

Abe, what did you do at Scout Camp?

"ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...................."

That's about all that can be got out of them at the moment. From the little tidbits that have been dropped here and there, it seems as though Johnny earned 7 merit badges and is now a Life scout, Abe got roughly 7-8 merit badges and is VERY close to surpassing his troops all time record of merit badges earned by one scout (about 3 more to go), and both boys completed the mile swim. They seem to have had an fun, eventful, and VERY tiring week. The pictures will have to do the speaking for them. We're really glad to have them back home! There's something very comforting about having men in the home.

Wow those bonfires are pretty sweet! Looks like a fun time. The eagle painting turned out great Abe.
