It is important to remember that before any big adventure, one must be certain they are physically prepared for the tasks to follow. Simply said. Be prepared.
This year’s summer camp is going to involve a lot of fun. However, some of the scouts and leaders will need to do a little preparation. Two of our fearless leaders will become life guards. It is impairative that they practice thier strokes ahead of time to be sure they can meet the rigorous requirements to pass the course. Others will be hiking two miles up hill with all their gear for the week. OK… to some of you I know that is hilarous. But to someone who isn’t used to carrying 70 pounds on their back, much less, up a hill for two miles, it’s a little daunting.
Think about what your unit has ahead of them and how you can help them prepare so that everyone will have a fun time at the event. I for one am on my way downtown with the family to walk around in the heat, on the (hold laughter please) hills of Buffalo Bayou. For those unfamiliar with Houston, there are no real hills here, only bridges.
