Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted September 30, 2017 Share #9 Posted September 30, 2017 Speaking of glamping, I recently came across this A mere $120/night... Seems somewhat expensive given that skimpy list of necessities! No wifi, even! Although they do give you a metal grill for over the firepit, so maybe it is worth it. http://www.theoldgamefarm.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share #25 Posted October 2, 2017 The glamping went quite well. Heard positive feedback from all the participants except for two scout leaders. I was beat when I got home. Up early, late to bed, lots of walking around camp making sure all the programs were running well, etc. Was in bed well before 9 PM last night. Have another camp just for Cub Scouts coming up at the end of this month. My youngest will be staffing it with me. Should be a blast. We will sleep out doors at this camp I imagine. Normally I just set up my tent behind the HQ pavillion or sleep on the floor in the open pavillion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hear a lot about those in TX, so I am curious as to how many scouts you lose to them every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camp this past weekend was for Webelos and Boy Scouts. I have never heard of any Scouts in Texas being eaten by BigFeet, but I do know an older Scouter who had a scout attacked by a bear at Philmont Scout Ranch. The scout lived.

Alcohol is frowned upon by The Boy Scouts of America, as far as having it at camps. I will often enjoy a beer with other leaders when we are not Scouting.

Boy Scouting is pretty cool in that when done right, it is boy led. The boys plan the campout, meals, etc. They run the campfire program. The adults are there to step in only when needed. Great way to learn leadership skills and a great place to fail in a safe environment. We do get to know the boys, but generally at a distance, if that makes sense. This past weekend, one of the groups of Boy Scouts were running a station where the younger Webelos Scouts built and launched a water and air powered rocket. I heard one of the young Webelos say, "We can't do that. It would not be right if we won by cheating" That made the weekend worthwhile. I took the time to walk over to that group of Scouts, find out who the young man was and give him praise and recognition, as well as a wire clip carabiner, in front of his peers. Also got to watch a young scout go from not knowhing how to shoot a bow and arrow to hitting the target repeatedly. The look on his face was amazing. He is pictured earlier in this thread.

And you call that camping? How do you camp with only hard liquor? I am afraid you are giving the scouts the wrong idea about what camping can be with a full cooler of cold beer.

BTW, I have been known to bring a flask camping to small events.... I am definitely not joking! Camping with beer is part of our heritage. Sitting around the campfire with an old green Coleman cooler with 8 lbs. of ice and 70 beers while the dogs play after a hard mountain bike ride is really the best way to enjoy camping. When I camp by myself, I don't bring beer, or even make a fire often. With others, I always enjoy both. I do feel it is wrong to not have beer when kids are around to maintain some stilted version of reality. Beer is a part of life, and kids should see people enjoying it growing up so they won't get all weird with it when they are suddenly of age and don't know how to act.

No, this is wrong, you have to do a whole post, each dog having an individual bio and pictures showing different sides to their personalities, and captions.
