Scouter Extraordinaire

This weekends campout was a success. All of us had a fun time. It came a couple of rain showers, but that didn't dampen anyone's spirits. God's presence is never more obvious than when you wake up and roll out of a tent on a crystal clear spring morning. No alarm clocks are needed. The birds, sunlight, and your bladder are all the alarm clock you need when in the woods. I really enjoyed having Jill with us. She was worried that she might feel out of place, but there were several women leaders there. I may even be able to talk her into going with us again sometime. Dutch ovens are the bomb!! We started using them a couple of years ago and we won't ever go back to the propane stoves. We can cook everything for the troop in two dutch ovens and an 16" frying pan on top of an old washing machine tub. We had silver turtles and garlic toast friday. Pancakes with blueberry and whipped topping Saturday morning. Venison and beef stew Sat. night and bacon, eggs, biscuits, and strawberry jam this morning. We ate so much this weekend that we skipped lunch and supper tonight.
