PS: I got a message from Ethan. The bishopric member that spent yesterday at scout camp with the boys, asked Ethan if he had anything he wanted to say to his parents, and he’s the one that relayed the message. The message? “Environmental science is boring.” 😛

Ethan’s off to Scout Camp

Ethan is headed off to his first week long scout camp! He’s got an exciting schedule planned. Originally he wanted to do a couple of the shooting sports, but I noticed that the very first class for each was at the same time, so there just wasn’t any way for him to do both this year. So I had him choose one of them. He also wanted to do wilderness survival. I suggested that he pick one required merit badge. In the end I think he has a well rounded schedule. One shooting sport (archery), one required (environmental science), wilderness survival, mammal study and one crafty badge (woodcarving).

We finished gathering his supplies and getting him packed up last night, and this morning he is off!

After we bridged the girls, we had dinner and then moved inside to finish with the awards. Rain was headed our way, so we did what we could outside. The wind got crazy and the rain was starting when we went inside.
