Sung to the tune of
(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays
Oh, there’s no place like camping on this weekend,
For no matter how low the merc’ry drops-
If you’re a member of Boy Scout Troop one-six-seven,
In the winter time you earn your camping chops!

Oh, the boys they start complaining when the forecast’s nice and dry.
They like to camp in ten feet of ice and snow.
If they don’t sleep in a blizzard then it isn’t worth the trip.
You can’t learn to treat your frostbite,

If it isn’t frigid at night!

The Scoutmaster builds a camp fire that’s seen from outer space,
It will melt a ring of snow a mile wide.
We’ll be sliding through a mud pit as we cook our dinner fare.
But, the food it is terrific,
Just don’t watch what they put in it!
Oh, there’s no place like camping on this weekend,
When we long for the comforts of a home,
If you want to be happy in a million ways,
Next time winter camp inside a Holidome!
Next time winter camp inside a Holidome!
Next time winter camp inside a Holidome!

Have a great weekend!
My son earned his Polar Bear Patch last weekend as the temps dropped below freezing while they were out. That pretty much gives them bragging rights for life since we live in the south.
ReplyDeleteIt is 29F right now. You troopers earned your patch. Thanks for taking care of the Commander and feeding him. Please don't give him any beans, or chili, or red hot peppers before you come home.
ReplyDeleteOur church troop goes winter camping each year. I've not been very excited about it, but figured I didn't have to worry because my oldest three children were girls.
ReplyDeleteNow I have a four year old boy and I am afraid some day I'll have to do at least one of the winter camping trip.
