Kinda interesting, aren't they?

We enjoyed them...not sure what happened to them after the camp ended.

We should have a camp thread some time. Have a fire, sing those songs and roast marshmallows.
It was Explorer and CGIT camp for me back in the day.

Did you even care? Did you even look back? Did you even shed one tear?

Only Girl Guides for me - Gramma and mom were leaders for decades, though mom led Explorers for a while in Crossfield before I was born

We once had a CGIT thread on the original WC. I don't remember if there was ever a Guide thread.

Lots of good memories either way.

Boy Scout camp for me (as a cub, scout, and leader), plus a couple school camps.

Scouting is now co-ed, I understand.

So I've heard. Little M was never much interested so I haven't had any contact with Scouting since Dad quit being a leader 30ish years ago. Well, except for Dad's visitation. 3 of my old Scout leaders came to the visitation together, one of them in uniform.

LAST as we think about those formative years.

There wasn't a separate Guide thread on WC that I remember - I popped into the CGIT one...and we discussed both groups on the LPT. Yes, Scouting is co-ed to make it more family friendly.

Wolf Cub camp, private kids' camp, sports camp, church and Seminary retreats. To add in day camps - Lava Lava Island VBS, and ROM Saturday Morning Club.

Refund arrived from gov't...this has been a lot of hassle and paperwork for such a small amount of money.

Perhaps not many of you have heard of the ROM Saturday Morning Club. It was a special program, for advanced students, run by the museum. Not just anyone could get in. My brother Dr. Rae and I were two of the few chosen to gather at the museum each Saturday Morning, see a documentary, and then break into groups for learning in the different museum departments. My favorite class was one called, "The Silk Road." It was so enriching that I opted to enroll in it twice.

That sounds like a great program. It's what our museums and other institutions should be doing more of.

I consider myself Canadian despite having been born and raised elsewhere. I left that other country and am now a small part of this one. No - I will not post proof of Scottish or any other ethnic origin .

Just tried to open a bottle and managed to get a blister on my hand. Ouch!

Yes, the only thing I'd change would be to make it accessible to all kids.

It's warmed up to 0F!

When it get above freezing next week we'll probably pull out our shorts and t-shirts.
