Eagle Scouts

[CWS]

My Dad and I had Kelty external frame packs. They were the top of the line when we bought them. REI bags with an extra half pound of down. Havent had that sucker on since my son got Eagle and went to college. Before that we would do black diamond camps in Michigan which was 0 and below at least one night.

Coldest I ever camped in was -10 in Ada, OK, circa '78 and I'll never do that cold or Ada ever again.

[CWS]

That joke is so old its not even worth scraping the dirt off it.

 

[kirscovitch]

:sadcry:

i thought it was funny...... :hanghead:

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

Klondike Derby?

 

[ATCDub]

Don't feel bad Matt, we all thought it was funny the first time we heard it. It was the next 200 times that kinda wore us down.

 

[ATCDub]

Klondike Derby?

I was always looking for the wilderness survival camp in say St. Croix. Never happened.

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

Klondike derby in January is always very cold on Mich.

 

[CWS]

When we left Michigan we have three troops that wanted out derby sled. Won three years in a row. Matt and I donated it to the council.

I madde it to First-class, then they rearranged the book and scouting and had to go back to second-class... that was in the '70's anyone remember that?

Eagle Scout '96

I've been to Philmont several times and have eaten several brownies.

Even after I became an Eagle Scout I worked for lots of summer camps. I'd have to say I was the best Aquatics Director ever...

Most of the time boy scouts wasn't all the fun. But the trips and camps rocked.

Relax brother...all in good fun.

Yeah. People dont know what cold is until they spend the night in a sleeping bag at sub-zero, getting up every hour to make sure none of the scouts were frozen solid. Never slept. They loved it though.

I did summer camps. Was the Regional OA chief. Then an adult volunteer.

:rofl: I never heard of the "eating a brownie" joke before.

Only the Dudley Do-Rights get the brownies, not the Snidely Whiplashes.
