So I was roped into helping out for a week at Cub Scout day camp. 5 days, 8-4, little boys. I have nine boys in my den, they are about 6-7 years old and very energetic. I'm the main leader, but there is another woman who helps me out and we have den chiefs (Scout-aged boys/girls) every now and again. I have a vegan in my group and one who just kind of chills out with me or the other leader rather than doing any of the activities. Reminds me a bit of myself at camp - I was always with the leaders.
We do all kinds of activities: archery, giant water slide, map/compass activities, arts and crafts, kitchen crafts, games. It's a fun camp. Some of the activities are a bit too short for the time, and those moments are the hardest.
My favorite part is how these little boys have attached to me. They get excited to see me in the morning, and like to show me what they make or tell me stories. I am not all that patient all the time, but I love these little boys.
