Scouting is long tradition in my family. My grandfather started a troop just after it migrated to the states. Husband is an Eagle as well as our son. They both are assistant Scoutmasters now. They had a camp out last weekend at the local state park to do clean up service project and work on their outdoor cooking skills. Pizzas baked in a homemade metal drum oven and Dutch oven dump cakes!

I went camping over Presidents' Day weekend with our troop in Albion, ME. That's not the end of the world but you can see it from there.
 
Day time highs were in the 40's but we woke up to 11F on the second day. Coldest ever on a camping trip was -6F and toughest to set up a tent was having to shovel 30" of snow in order to reach dirt.
 
I have a recipe for dutch oven prime rib but I'm not sure I want to try that on a $60 piece of beef!!

Boy Scouts don't need prime rib!
 
I have fond memories of campers' stew and s'mores, on my Scout campouts...

OK, so lets take this conversation a step further. Did you do anything after Boy Scouts?
 
When I was 16 (having topped out as an Asst Senior Patrol Leader of a 60 kid troop, a bunch of us went off and formed Nassau County's first coed Explorer Post. It was around 1972, and the times, they were a-changin'.
 
In college, I pledged Alpha Phi Omega, the National Service Fraternity - a fraternal organization looeley associate with the Boy Scouts of America.

Nope... I was done with Boy Scouts about age 13.. I was a Cub Scout before that.. Got waxed at the Pinewood Derby...
 
Didn't really learn my lesson... my son was in the Cub Scouts.. .his car also beaten badly at the Derby... LOL
 
I like that co-ed Explorer idea, though.... I think I tried that, too..just not within any sort of organization..

Boy Scouts don't need prime rib!
 
That's right - they don't. Remember that a properly run Boy Scout troop has the boys cooking their own meals for their patrols and the adults are off in their own patrol. Just because the boys decide to have plain pasta, hot dogs and instant oatmeal in the pouch doesn't mean we adults can't have prime rib, salmon or omelettes!!
 
When we adults have good meals, it often challenges the boys to be more creative in their cooking. Usually the younger ones want to try more adventurous meals while the older boys are too busy to cook and clean.
 
I remember one week of patrol based summer camp (no dining hall), one patrol planned ramen and oreos for every meal. They went to the local H Mart and stocked up on ramen from all the Asian countries. But Wednesday they were all starting to be interested in what the camp delivered in the morning cooler or looking to mooch off of everyone else.

Hmm.... I should take some of our rabbits with us on a scout trip. The troop can prepare them for dinner.

Emily recently turned 16. We booked a small catering hall in town, and she had the birthday party of a lifetime. But it didn't stop there! This week she got her learners permit, and logged her first minutes behind the wheel. Oh, and she traded in her glasses for contacts. We also attended a college info night at the high school, and learned all about eating cat food so that we can afford the tuition!
 
I want my little baby back!!!
 
Add to this that I roll 55 tomorrow...... Oh the pain, the pain.

Well, Steve, if you're just ending your era of innocence at 55, you did pretty darn well.
 
Congratulations to both of you on your milestones!
