One of the things I am most proud of:
In my 3+ years, we camped almost every month. We had a summer camp every summer. We had two different Philmont excursions (which I did not attend).
In all that time, I didn't miss a single campout.
There was one campout, where I made arrangements to not attend. But it was canceled by the YM president due to predicted hail, ice, and snow.
For another campout, me and the YM President showed up the church, and not a single boy came. We canceled that campout as well. But I was proud, that in a troop that had not regularly camped in sometime, where cancellations of campouts were frequent, we had a group of adults that were arguably more dedicated than the scouts. We had more than one campout where there were more adults than boys. As in 6 adults, and 4 boys.
All of those campouts kind of blur together. Different boys, different adults, different places, different weather.
I hope that is part of my legacy, that the troop continues to camp.
