Learning Life Skills
Naya was excited days before of the Scout Camping in their school. This is the second time their school will have a camping experience. When I arrived home one night, she greeted me in the door and asked immediately to allow her to sleep on campus. I asked why, she excitedly replied because it was camping day that Friday and they could only be allowed to camp if they are joined by their parents. Maybe she knew that I would readily agree to allow her to join the camp and sleep on campus. I always put priority on my kids learning life skills. Scouting was very influential in my growth as a leader. It taught me a lot of survival and life skills. I pray that this will also be the same with my kids especially Naya. The world of technology that they live in is very different and it is a welcome deviation for them to learn how to prepare their own food, prepare their own sleeping space, care for themselves without the special amenities of technology.
