"The swim test where 3 of these inner city youths with minimal exposure to swimming, wisely begged off and another 2 were joined by lifeguards within seconds of hitting the water, while 2 tired and swam to the dock before completing the test. It was clear, we had our work cut out for us, but all 7 were swimming before the week was over!"

"Morning inspection was a blast. Who knew clever Counsellor Kyle could make cleaning and looking sharp so much fun? He insisted on a bonding ritual of some sort and our boys came up with the limbo and catching each other in fall-back exercises."

"Camping is living out Scouting."
