The day after a large Scout event is usually a clean-up day for me as I pack up materials and compose notes on what to do with the event next time. After I cleaned my atlatls and wrote up the notes from the end-of-event staff meeting I had run out of Scout things to do. I went for a run, played TF2, and baked a cake.
If this is the future of my involvement with Scouting I’m fine with it.
Editor’s Note: I think this title sets my record for hyphens.
The Council Cub-o-ree mobilized about 400 participants and around 100 staff volunteers making the camp have as many bodies in it as a very light week of summer camp. The participants were smaller on average being Cub Scouts and slightly more diverse from the smear of white teenagers I usually work with. The camp was in good shape and the weather perfect.
I passed the atlatls over to the group running the station and gave them a primer on using them. I moved on to the group activity stations I had come up with and waited for the staff to run them which never arrived. This freed me to simply take pictures. So I did.
