The Summer Camping Season's Over

Postby pipestone1991 » Sat Sep 02, 2006 11:30 pm

So now the summer camping season's over. What do you guys plan on doing during the offseason? Boy Scout wise I'm attending the OA Fall Fellowship campout and skiping this months fishing. Then attending the rest before January so I (hopefully) get SPL position in the 1st ever elections. But with my luck I'll be the only canidate :) (noone wants the job except for me) As for non-scouts maybe playin' some guitar and working on my golf game.

Well for me summer means less camping. Its just way to hot and humid.

So, in the not too distant future I’m going to go to camp sawyer in the keys where ill do some fishing, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling (finally got my new prescription mask), and possibly teaching rope bridge over land.

Outside of that I have tons of work in JROTC and tons of work for school.

Summer's over but camping is not.

I try to take my scouts camping every month of the year, except December (Christmas time is too busy). I usually get about 10 campouts. 9 overnighters and one week long camp.

September starts out busy for us. We have boys camping for the next 2 weekends, then a parade the following weekend. Plus we have popcorn sales starting, and have Show & Sells set up. In October, many of our troop leaders have trainings that they are helping at. November is hit and miss for many of our leaders and older boys because of hunting. In January, our boys are planning their first electronic campout. They sure are excited. Unfortunately, the boys haven't planned any further than that yet. This is the first year that the boys have made the majority of the plans for the troop. We will be finalizing the rest of the year in 2 weeks.
