« 10 July 2008 | 22:47 | A Moment with Mr. D | No Comments »

Well here we are at the end of our journey. Our last night here at summer camp in 2008 and we had an awesome time. Seems like time flew – and early tomorrow we’ll all say goodbye until September. I’m sitting here again in the cool admin building next to my friend Mr Sharkey as [...]

« 8 July 2008 | 19:55 | A Moment with Mr. D | 1 Comment »

OK – I’m tired. Here it is 23 hours since my last post and another day gone by (at least almost – there is still the troop swim at 10pm) For a select few of the boys this will also be an economical use of water because it will also double as a shower. Don’t [...]



2008 – Summer Camp Experience – Day 2

« 7 July 2008 | 20:23 | A Moment with Mr. D | No Comments »

WHAT A DAY!!! yeah – I know, you all expect me to talk about how positive everything is here and that nothing could possibly go wrong here at Camp Henson. I could probably spin a web of language that would grab your attention and never let your eyes move from the screen, at least until [...]

Well… the title says it all. The time we prepared for over the past few months has paid off. The camp site is set, the boys are here and we’re all safe. It’s about 9:50p and the welcoming campfire has just ended. I am going to make this a short one today – but keep [...]

Summer Camp – What a Week!!!!

« 30 April 2008 | 13:13 | A Moment with Mr. D | No Comments »

Ok – So it’s been a while since I’ve added to “A MOMENT WITH MR D” And, yes a few people have asked when I was going to put out a new entry… But given that the WWW has about 1 bazillion cruising members – I have a question – mainly because no-one has posted [...]

Just an Hour a Week

« 8 March 2008 | 20:01 | A Moment with Mr. D | No Comments »

Just an hour a week. Now that’s a phrase that’s as synonymous with the scouting program as “Be prepared”. We’ve all heard it. It’s the hook used to get the unsuspecting “leaders to be” to start becoming full time members of a pack or troop. It’s kind of like seeing “low calorie” or “1/2 the [...]
