Well we can add the themes "freezing" and "fire" to our Scout experience... Camped with the troop on Friday night. Last time I checked the weather forecast it was for mid-40's overnight. My guess is low 30s and there was a layer of frost out in the field. He was toasty warm in the two man tent with one of his buddies - it has a window at one end and a door at the other. Me, not so much, turns out his one-man tent that I borrowed is definitely a summer tent... thankfully I upgraded my sleeping bag, so at least I was toasty warm in the bag, but it took a good 30 minutes to crawl back out...

Gus had a great time - and finally managed to get a fire lit. Of the 10 boys there, not one had matches with them. Well, turns out Gus did, but he didn't look in the correct pocket of his backpack...

Cheers, K
