    Our scouts camping trip is official now. Got a camp spot secured after having issues, and even bought a tent. Gonna get vegan snacks for the weekend so I have something to eat and get to have the inevitable “why aren’t you eating the tacos” conversation. I’m really hoping my kid enjoys himself though. I’m still unsure if he’s even enjoying it so far. I don’t care for the pledge and prayer shit but I think there is still some potential learning to be had.

    I’m practically in waiting mode over this too because it’s completely out of my element. I haven’t been camping since I was probably 8 years old and I don’t do well around people. If he ends up liking it, maybe it’s a thing we can do together though.

      Wait there’s prayer in scouts? I presume that’s something the Canadian version took out because e still did the whole saluting and pledging to be our best and shit

      I’m also committing to doing literally anything my kid likes and forcing myself to be into it
