The Scout Returns

It's amazing what ten days can do to a 12 year-old boy. Something about it ... goes out a young boy and comes back a young man. After spending 10 days in the Missouri wilderness, Tyson came back smarter, stronger, slimmer and completely exhausted. In fact, he slept most of the afternoon. That's what happens when you swim, shoot rifles, perform rope tricks, launch arrows, and achieve 2nd Class Scout status! We're proud of the kid ... er ... young man and we're glad that he survived some wild storms(slight damage to camp, one leader taken to the hospital), extreme heat (115°heat index) and terrible food (beef stroganoff). Truth be told, he probably just missed Paige's home cooking.
