Cub Scout Summer Camp
I vounteered as a Camp Counselor for a Cub Scout Summer Camp. The boys were all Zachary's age (1st graders) but because I was the Den Leader, William was able to join us as well! We had a great time. The boys did everything including archery, swimming, BB guns, crafts and songs!
