Always something going on here, Last Saturday my son left for Boy Scout Camp, Friday my daughter and I leave for Girl Scout camp. I never really saw myself as a camper, but now, I can hardly wait. We joined scouts when the kids were in elementary school and it has been one of the best things for our family, both together and separately as our kids learn independent skills.
They are both 15, but when I say it is time to pack, they ask what’s my number? Which means how many days of items do I need. (7days= 7 shirts, pants etc)
They know how to pack for camp, and can go away for a week, on their own. The first time they did this I was so nervous, but the look of pride when they came back, and all the new skills they could now do on their own, and the growth they shared at the end of that week, priceless.
