On a more serioius note about the campout....it really is a milestone for me. When I first became scoutmaster I thought we would be able to do this in our first or second campout.
But to actually be able to camp in bad weather with a 9 mile hike with packs the next day, and them cooking their own food? Unthinkable 1 year ago.
So it actually means something to me that we were able to do this, even if there were only 3 YM. It's tough when you are in an urban ward, none of the fathers with scouting/outdoor experience, almost all of the families with modest means.
