jsharr ★ Posted October 28, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2013 This weekend was a bit sad for me. Each year, our local Boy Scout Council has a camp called Cuboree at Camp Wisdom in Dallas. It is for Tiger, Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts. I attended my first Cuboree in 2007 with Wade and I attended my last Cuboree over the weekend with Ryan. For four of those years, I have been the Cubmaster of our pack, meaning that lots of new parents and leaders turn to me for help, etc. This in turn means that I am often serving and not camping with my son. So this weekend, I took some time off from being the Cubmaster and just went camping with my son. We shot bows and arrows, and BB guns and crossed a monkey bridge, did some arts and craft, made smores and hiked in the woods a bit and just had a good time. When it rained Saturday night, our old two man tent sprung a few leaks, so we slept in the back of my Ford. Ryan was excited, as we were really “roughing it” by sleeping in the car. I just enjoyed the moment and did not point out that roughing it would be sleeping in a wet tent. Anyway, it has been a great 7 years but it made me realize that I only have two years of Cub Scouts left with Ryan and then hopefully he will earn his Arrow of Light and cross over to a Boy Scout Troop and my days as a Cub Scout leader may be over.
