Are your Resident Camps/Summer Camps opening?

[qwazse]

E94's experience parallels the classic my-son-can't-do-more-pull-ups problem that  scouters face. Did the scout grab at a pull-up bar EVERY DAY for a month? Did he at least hang there for 30 seconds? In a community of brutal honesty, the answer will be "No" to which the reply will be "That's okay, when he decides to try for 30 days straight, I'm sure he'll get a chin above the bar." In other communities the answer will be obtuse with varying levels of indignation. The reply remains the same.

However, my impression viral spread among the home-bound hasn't increased, it's just the number of large gatherings has plummeted, and along with that so have new infections from that source.

Good for them. Now, just call it a patrol based summer camp and they might just have a great new program model.

Even though our camp is still on, at the moment, there are a lot of concerns. Troop will be putting on their own locally. At the moment it is patrol camping, but push comes to shove, it will turn into a day camp.

Some folks call this 'Be Prepared," and others will say "Semper Gumby."
