Boy Scout Camp

Corey went to Boy Scout last week. There were 8 scouts from our Ward that went. The camp was in Cherokee Village which is about an hour from Jonesboro. He was there from Sunday through Thursday. Barry and I both worried so much about him but he did great. He earned several merit badges: Reptiles, Trail Blazer, Orienteering, and Fire Safety. He loved the food in the Mess Tent and didn't mind sleeping in a tent. He came home with only 4 ticks and 20 chiggers which we thought was pretty good.
One night a raccoon got in their tent and ate their snacks and another night there was a rainstorm but everyone survived and had a great time.

Wow, Corey what an adventure! You didn't tell me about the racoon. So glad you could go and experience camp life. Love, Nana
