Hello, all my readers. Just a quick introduction here. For the next eight weeks, I'll be blogging about my adventures as a staff member at KSR: a scout camp in Maine. My current position here is to be an instructor in the New Scout program. What's that mean? Well I'm glad you asked! Basically, it's my job to teach the young kids new to Scouting all the skills they need to survive when we strand them in the woods. Eh, I'm joking, we don't ACTUALLY do that...But we DO teach them camping skills. Everything from tying nots to setting up a tent to learning how to swim and be safe in and around the water. By the end of the week, these boys will be that much closer to their next rank, and hopefully their next couple ranks. They will have even earned shat is more than likely their very first merit badge. While all this is great, I have a job that is even more important; I instill in these hound boys life values that will follow them forever in a way that makes them cry when they leave for want of more adventure. That's my job.
This week is staff week, and right now I'm just waiting for lunch. Tonight I'll post more about all the adventures I've already had in just the first two days. Until then, safe camping.
