Jason,
You're right, I think this was a great campout. I asked a few of the boys to rate the campout on a scale from 1 to 10-got a high grade of 10, a low of only 8! (The 8 was justified by wishing for a little cooler weather. Can't argue much with that one.) BTW, for the record Luke did *not* ding me for the Pizza on a Stick. Generous kid….
Special kudos to the breakfast (cook) club and Jeff for organizing the nightly hikes. Spooky factor was just right-nobody ended up scared, but everybody listened closely! New Bear leader Chris Eley did an excellent job of keeping the boys in a group, too.
You're also dead on that Pack 82 must be doing something right- we had the biggest "tent city" I've seen yet. Good work, Kevin.
I hope the tireless Akela camp director agrees to sign on for another year-this was a great campout. (Don't let that guy out!)
Only take-away for us: Let's give some thought to our skit a little ahead of time next year. We were good, but I honestly think we got upstaged by the "Mom's Super Soup Surprise" Pack. With a little practice a few weeks out, I bet we could set a new standard for the campfire skits.
Thanks to you all for making our Pack a great place for our kids. Jason's right, we're making great memories.
