Jacob counted down the hours until Cub Scout Day Camp this year. He was so excited he could barely stand it. I got to go as a parent leader and supervise the Wolves and Bears as they rotated from station to station. What a fun day! I love Scouts and I love boys. One of the highlights of every day is Pool Time. The boys try to stay cool and hydrated throughout the day with spray bottles, misters, slush puppies, and water balloons, but nothing beats fully submerging in the cool water.
Jacob's favorite rotation this year was Nature. The boys learned about geology, rocks and minerals, and the solar system.
Of course, BB Shooting is so exciting for the boys. I love how they so carefully teach gun safety and yet the boys have so much fun.
Archery is also something all of them look forward to. Jacob really had the hang of it this year, since he's a second-year day camper.
The theme of this year's camp was Star Base Pueblo with lots of fun space-related skits, costumes, and decorations. Our den yell went something like this: "You better watch out for yourselves, because we're the aliens of Den Twelve." Silly Scout fun.
As miserably hot as it is here, I always love to go to day camp. The boys develop such a bond of friendship and brotherhood as they work together in their dens. They enjoy themselves so thoroughly they don't realize the life lessons they are learning.
