My oldest know as C1, is heading off to a BS camp out located in cave. We have been told by the SM that any clothes that C1 wears in the cave should be thrown out when he gets home...wait., what?
Apparently, the cave is very muddy and constantly dripping water..I had to go out and buy a tarp for him to drape over his tent so he does not have to be rung out in the morning.
Ok...Here is a good idea for all of you scouting mom's and dad's out there. If you should have a camp out like this, go to your neighborhood thrift store and buy clothes there. That way you have only spent a couple of dollars and dont feel so bad about it. I actually bought my GF a winter jacket for her son as his is a brand new ski jacket. $5.00. it was half off day.
No, normally, I send the digital camera with him to camp outs. I dont think I will do so this time. He's not very good at keeping himself clean. He is the type that will be crawling through every nook and crany of that cave.
The upside...It is a constant 53 degrees inside the cave. Which may seem cold to many of you, but it has been below zero here so that will feel like a heat wave..
Maybe I'll post a pix of him when he gets home...we might have to hose him off in the back yard. I dont envy the leaders who are driving!
