Akela Cub 2013

 Cub Scout camping is reveille in the freshness of early morning when drowsy boys pop out to watch the Stars and Stripes ascend to the top of a flagpole. It is play and work, give and take, and growth of body, mind and soul. It is the "campfire" when the wood has fallen low and the ashes start to whiten 'neath the embers' crimson glow. It is wondering at the mysteries of nature and the wisdom of the Creation; law and order, the interdependence of plant and animal, color, harmony, design, male and female, and the great purpose behind it all. It is the freedom to shout and hear the echo of your voice which is possible only in the country, freedom to explore hollow trees, dense, untrodden forests, freedom to catch salamanders and crayfish in a lake, freedom to be one's self and to dream of what one may become. It is an opportunity for boys 7, 8, 9, and 10 to have a good outdoor experience, and to better prepare them for Boy Scout camp.
