The last three or four days we have been hit by hard rain. This has turned our once green grass campsite into a mud pit covered with hay.
We have been battling wet feet for four days now. Wet shoes, wet socks,
Etc.
We learned that some scouts did not pack two pairs of shoes or if they did - they got both wet.
We have educated the Scouts about Gold Bond powder. In wet or sweaty conditions the powder helps dry things up. Hopefully from the scouts real world experience they will learn from it.
When your scout comes home be prepared for wet and smelly clothing. Their shoes will probably be wet and will definitely be caked in mud. I suggest you may room in your garage at home and tell your scout to sort things out there before allowing into your house.
During the last storm one tent lost its rainfly and the Scout's gear got wet. Gabriel L and Christian D were the victims of the storm.
PS - some air freshener in the car might be needed.
The poor flight crew on the trip home has no idea about what they are getting themselves into!
