Boy Scout Camp Out

Brett went on his FIRST Boy Scout camp out this weekend. He and his troop left on Friday at 5:30 and returned on Sunday! He was so excited. This was his first real camping trip for more than just one night. No parent, no amenities, very primitive camping! He got to make a real first aid kit, have an inflatable pillow, and even got to shop for the groceries with his fellow scouts. At first we did not think he could make it, according to his baseball schedule he had too many conflicts. Then we got word a tournament had just taken all the fields and his practice and scrimmage were canceled. He could not have been happier! Before we dropped Brett off we had chinese food, Brett's fortune was "you will soon be up for a promotion". What luck, he was voted Patrol Leader at camp! Who says fortune cookies don't come true?! Matthew, Brett and Kenny, ready to go. They have been in Cub Scouts together and all been friends since the first grade. They are really trying to look cool while Mr. Arthur and I wanted to take a picture of them before they left. Matthew and Brett.
