A Scout's Campfire

ASM Ken has a fairly new BLOG A Scout’s Campfire : I’m an Eagle Scout, 1975.

I am an Assistant Scout Master for a Troop in Raleigh, NC.

I have loved camping since I was a boy.

I was overjoyed when our Troop needed leaders for our Philmont crew in 2005.

I was never able to go as a boy, but have dreamed about it.

I will admit I had never done any truly rugged camping as an adult.

I was really looking forward to it. The “practice” hikes and camps we did fueled the fire in me. We spent 10 days hiking the high country.

I would not trade it for the world. Not only for my experience, but watching our “boys” mature. The difference in the maturity level of these young men was amazing. At 40-something, I am constantly growing and looking for new ways to enjoy the outdoors. Join me around the campfire….
