Leaving for Boy Scout Camp

Rocket has been preparing for Boy Scout Camp for the last few weeks.  We spent this week making lists, finishing laundry and writing his name on all his clothes. He will be gone for 6 days- coming home on Saturday.
 
He is going with 3 of his friends from school and one of the friend's older brother, along with most of his troop.  It is going to be an adventure.  He asked me to go up 2 times to help out this week.  It is different then cub scout camp- the boys will be working on different merit badges (though Rocket and his buddies picked some  of the same merit badges), so the adults are there to just make sure they get to meals and aren't staying in the tents when they should be at merit badge stations.  I am heading out on Tuesday and Friday and I promised Rocket I would not follow him around.  I did get him to agree that I could come quickly observe to get pictures for the other parents.

Rocket and his tent mate. I am not sure how much sleeping they will get this week.

Their senior patrol leader.  Also, one of the young men that I hope our new exchange student will become friends with once they are introduced.  D is very excited about our coming exchange student and is keen to meet him.

The trailer all packed up.

Getting them organized, final instructions and prepping for the final photo for the parents.


Final picture- all ready to go

And they're off.



Be safe, have fun, see you soon
 
Love and hugs,
