Woo woo! Corwin is gone for a week to Boy Scout camp. We’ve been preparing for it on and off for the last couple of weeks but it was took a morning of frantic Mom to get him ready to ship out. Unfortunately, it looks likes it going to be a week of gorgeous weather, especially for this time of year. How can it be real camping if he doesn’t get rain and / or tornados?
Corwin had to borrow a back pack from Charles because at the end of school, he left a mushed up banana in his and only now got around to trying to clean it out. For some reason it proved difficult. So difficult, in fact, that Corwin was driven to actually ask Charles for a favor.
In addition to his normal camping supplies, Corwin took a good supply of beating sticks. That should make things a bit more entertaining. We thought about sending his cell phone along, but decided against it. After he left, however, I remembered that I had set it up so he could send pictures to one of my online pictures sites so he could have sent us near real time updates. Oh well, next year!
Corwin will also be working on some merit badges. I looked through the requirements and gosh, Boy Scout badges are a lot harder than Cub Scout / Webelos. It’ll be something to keep Corwin busy during the year.
