Yes great times in the scouts doing night hikes was the greatest you would set off and the oldest looking one would go into the pub and get the beers in. Thats where i first met the bear (Hofmeister)

Yes im always inventing things for the kids someone only has to say they could do with something and i will go and make it if possible

How about the old one on the bottom is worth two on top!! (blankets  )

My son was a cub and a scout and went away camping at least once a month so Im hoping when we go away in our new tent, hes the one whos going to be able to put it up!

My son is 13 and when OH bought our first family tent, which was a second hand frame tent, we had to wait for our son to get in from school to show us how to put it up! Result? After following his orders we had it up in no time.

We recently got a Nebraska XXL and with son`s help we had it up within no time. I won`t go camping without him.....bless.

My stepfather showed me how to make crude bread in an emergency. Just mix flour and water into a basic dough, wrap it around a stick and hold it over an open fire. It wasn't award winning bread but it filled a hole.

Help

If only 2 or 3 parents out of the 30 or so scouts(50-60 parents in total) became leaders another evening could be setup for meetings.
