Pedro's E-bag

The ideal campout


Dear Pedro, My troop went camping recently, and it was the best time I’ve had in a long time. We cooked steaks, veggies and potatoes in foil packs in the campfire, and had chocolate-cherry cake cooked in a Dutch oven afterwards. We sat around the campfire and told stories and jokes and performed skits. Then we looked through a high-powered telescope and saw the rings of Saturn. We woke up and had pancakes and sausage. It was the ideal campout!

That’s Scouting, Chris. Thanks for sharing. And now I’m starving — except for something really good, like cactus fritters with clover syrup.
