Camping is the lifeblood of Boy Scouts, and Troop 33 camps monthly!  Camping trips are not mandatory, but are primarily where bonds are developed, fun is had, leadership is exercised and responsibilities are learned…did I mention fun is had?  Everyone has a part to play, something to learn, a responsibility to attend.  Memories are made for stories to be told.  Who could forget having a wild horse approach you out of the darkness at Assateague Island; racing a sled across the snow in a winter derby; rescuing an assistant scoutmaster who’s leg dangled through rope bridge slats over a creek; sleeping under the stars on a clear night; or putting up a tent in the rain…in the dark (it will happen!)  Most of all, lifetime memories are formed as experiences are etched into these young scouts as they become young men.  By all means, come camping with your son and enjoy the experiences… even if from a distance, over at the “adults camp”!
