This year, I am trying something new. As I hear reports "from the field" of the goings-on at Summer Camp, I will post them (edited, of course) here. That way, parents and Scouts who weren't able to attend Summer Camp will be able to get some of the flavor of the week. Stay tuned!

Just got off the phone with David Scharling and there has been a change in plans on the return trip. They will not be spending the night at Camp Binachi in Meridian. The group will go ahead and do the tours (Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain, Incline RR), but will go ahead and drive on through to Houston after that. They will call Quart Graves from Beaumont (about 2 hours out) so expect them to be home around 1-2 Sunday P.M.

David Scharling also said the food is really bad.

Quart

Talked with Quart this morning. He sounded like he was REALLY excited. Said his goal was to get three merit badges (mentioned pottery was one???) and get almost all his first class. He also told me he had a nose bleed for no reason. This really impressed him. I asked him how it happened. He said he didn't know. Figured it was because of the altitude. (Is there any altitude there??) Anyway, it was wonderful hearing from him. I only wish I was there. Next year...

I heard from Phillip on Monday night. He said the food is awful at camp, and that there were only about five guys who thought it was okay. He said he only got about 2 hours of sleep on the bus ride. He mentioned that they
have to be careful about what is left out at night at the campsite in order to avoid attracting "critters".

Alex told me that the weather has been good. No rain and cool at night. They had a soccer game--the boys against the staff and the boys lost. The Polaris boys will be camping on Thursday and doing the 5-mile hike on Friday. They are getting a lot of their rank requirements done. Don't know about the older boys.

I heard from Alex last night--he said they didn't get any sleep on the bus (surprise, surprise), the food is awful (the nachos are okay at the store--I expect he'll live on them).
