Boyscout Camp

Last week my son was at boyscout camp. He loved it. I cannot wait to talk with his leaders and see how he did. He is already looking forward to going back. Actually he wants to work there next year. I do not know how I feel about that. He honestly asked to get a job when he turns 15 and I said NO. If he needed money for some reason I would say yes but I would prefer him focus on school and having fun.
Family night was fun. We did not stay long. Next year I plan on getting there earlier and staying much later.

Hope would not leave his side, she missed him while he was gone and was not about to give away one minute with him.
He even had to walk her to the restroom which was not his favorite part of the day.
A friend let us borrow her wagon. The kids loved it and Grace felt like she was a big girl pulling them around.
We had potluck for dinner. I have not seen that much food in a long time.

A scout is reverant.

Boyscout popcorn

Last year Michael (and Rob) sold boyscout popcorn. Michael was actually number 14 in the nation selling over $10,000. Over half of that was donations to send popcorn to the troops. With Rob being in school this time there is no way we can make a tenth of this amount. If you would like to help him, he would love to take your order. He is accepting donations for troops again. He has stood outside of Walmart the last two weekends collecting donations. I would like to explain that rob has been deployed 6 times and leaves again in April. He did recieve boyscout popcorn while deployed and said it was like a touch from home. So I do not know the popcorn gets to the soldiers. The other side to this is that Michael has been able to pay for him and his father to go on several camp outs and trips this year. All of his dues have been paid for from selling popcorn. he took our family to disney last spring and he has a wonderful scholarship. He will recieve a portion of his popcorn sales in his scholarship and camp fund again this year.
