"How can he have a good time at Scout Camp," you may ask?
It's probably not the stale cold pizza for breakfast. Or even people constantly asking him, "What would Lord Baden-Powell do?"
No.
If you take a look at this picture he sent me, I think you can see why they are having such a good time at Scout Camp.
UPDATE FROM ELLIOTT -
Okay so now that I am back among the living let me explain I guess -
BEN -
Sorry for cutting off the 3rd one - I was using the camera on my phone and trying to be discreet. It was a daily occurrence to find a line of 12 yr old Scouts lined up gawking - Scoutmasters were just better at hiding it.
BADEN POWELL
It wasn't so much of "WWBP do?" - but more like "Baden Powell wouldn't park here" and "Baden Powell wouldn't take the Scouts to Sonic during Scout Camp". I stopped counting the Baden Powell references on Wednesday - I got to 35 by then.
THE SIGN
That sign was outside one of the campsites for Troop 1 from Duncanville TX - which BTW was first chartered in 1913. They were attending camp during the same week and just happened to get the site right next to the Camp Showers - who planned that one?
MY SCOUTS RESPONSE
Without any prodding on my part the Scouts in our troop approached me on Thursday of the week and told me that they thought the sign was offensive and as one put it "pornographic and obscene."
They wondered if they would get sent home if they snuck over at night and put shirts on the cheerleaders.
In proper Scoutmaster fashion I told them:
"I don't know what you're talking about - oh and don't get caught and take a camera."
At least they followed one of my pieces of advice...they took a camera. Fortunately it was Friday night and we left on Saturday.
I do have to say though - I couldn't be more proud of them!

He cut off the 3rd Big Breasted Cheerleader at the top of the sign!! :) I guess it's true Everything IS BIGGER in Texas...
Not to mention their troop is #1
ha ha ha
Marc mentioned this and I did not believe him. Ohmygoodness, what were they thinking when they designed that sign? Hilarious!
I have fond memories of my three years at scout camp in Texas. It is always a memorable experience for the YM as well as the leaders!
I have been trying to shave with my finger all week and my hair seems to be growing faster.
Your finger must be dull...
