One of the opportunities Scouting provides the boys is to reconnect with Nature. Ours is an inner city Troop, and they seem to enjoy the forest colors of autumn. Two commented how quite the forest can be, another how loud the Canadian Geese were at dusk. We took an afternoon hike down to Lake Strauss to watch them take off and land.

Then, on Saturday evening, we celebrated the Solemn Rite Of The Campfire, replete with roasting marshmallows on sticks. We were fortunate this time that there was no wind.
