I'm having a great time at Spanish Peaks Scout Ranch. 300 to 400 Boy Scouts per week working on rank requirements and merit badges, enjoying campfires with skits and songs, spending money at the trading post, and having clean fun in every way imaginable. It is great to be a part of it all.
I get up at 6:00 in the morning and scurry by each of the eleven campsites checking on the adult leaders attitude and comfort. I meet with the leaders in my area at 10:00 everyday to teach/reinforce the patrol method and listen to general comments and concerns. At 2:00 each afternoon I cook something to broaden their collection of recipes (apple fritters, Spam casserole, jalapeños stuffed with Italian sausage and cream cheese, and ham & cheese sliders). I meet with the senior patrol leaders at 1:15 throughout the week to define their role as the troop leader and empower them to action within their unit. After evening activities I drive to all the campsites to collect their trash sacks to reduce the possibility of a bear wandering through the camp. FUN, FUN, FUN!
