This year the boys in our ward were lucky enough to attend Scout Camp on Catalina Island. R.J. was so excited. He hasn't been there since we went on our cruise there about 3 years ago. I was kind of nervous sending him, he hasn't gone on a long trip with out his dad with him. But, he was ready to spread his wings and venture out on his own. We packed him up with all his gear and also sent him with a lot of snacks to share. His tent mate was Trevor Joyce, they get along really well. At camp R.J. earned a lot of merit badges and learned so much. Earning the badges at camp is way easier to do! I am so glad he has these great opportunities to do on his own. Scouting is really preparing him for life, he is becoming so self reliant. As much as he enjoyed being on his own, there were some girls at home that missed him so much and couldn't wait to see their big brother. When R.J. got out of the car they tackled him and hugged him so hard. He was so cute, you could tell he missed them too. He brought them each a little token from camp. He made them lanyards. We are so glad to have our boy home!.
