Scout Camp (Camp Caveman)

The boys came back from scout camp early Saturday morning and they smelled, had lots of laundry, big smiles, and exhausted. They had so much fun the camp was called Camp Teancum but I call it camp cavemen. They just love running around the woods for a week, primitive camping, hubby using his ATV everyday, not having to take a bath except when they want, and playing capture the flag. Fun, Fun, Fun....

Yguy taking his rock climbing badge he loved doing this.

Yguy is the tallest here in the photo the other 3, one is his closest friend and the other 2 are good friends and the other 2 young men in our little branch. Yes, one has long hair he loves growing his hair out for locks of love.

Here all of them. 4 of them call me mom since I seem to answer to anyone calling mom whether its me or not they want. Ash and I went up for family night and we got a picture of all of our youth in our branch one of them is not but he is a close friend and like another son to us.

They had alot of fun but they are happy to be home.

Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules to Live by:
1. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened.
9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.

Ben Franklin’s 13 Virtues
1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
11.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
