I miss camping outdoor. I have been in the scouting movement for more than 20 years. I have attended several local camping and jamboree and one national jamboree in the major island in our country Philippines.

@020796elc We're doing it too here as layman's scout supporters. We're also registered in the BSP council.

Actually, I was a Girl Scout troop leader for 8 years. My baby daughter graduated high school in May. I was a Cub Scout den leader for 6 years. My baby boy crossed over into Boy Scouts in March. Not being a scout leader is quite an adjustment. We still go camping, hiking, etc.. as a family though.

It is always a great feeling to have your boys at home although they may drive you mad sometimes

Camping is one of the best place for young individuals to learn about how to be independent and I experience that when I was young too.I love it.

You know they learn about the great outdoors and camping and other life skills but when they are gone there is a void in your heart and life because you are used to a noisy house and now you have a quiet house so you miss them deeply so I know that this why you are glad to have them back.

I remember my youngest going camping for the first time. It was a bit strange to not have him there. I was so used to him being around. He enjoyed his camp, I am glad he went, but I did miss him. He said he missed me! His second camp happened on his 11th birthday so that was really special for him - but strange for me. I distracted myself with a games night! Now he's just turned 14, he doesn't really enjoy camping so much. I think he's only been to the indoor ones in the past year or two. He'd go to all of them before that. It's a shame but if he doesn't enjoy it any more, I won't make him go. Of course, it also saves me money when he doesn't go to camp!
I am sure you missed yours a lot. As much as we could all do with a break from our children at times, it does seem like you've forgotten something when they're not around.

@020796elc scout camp teaches that pupils may not learn in school , I feel it is team work and leadership skills

Yes, scout is good for the boys. But to spend time with them as a mother is awesome. Hope u had enjoyed all the moments.
