Brownie's First Camp Out

In Darke County, Ohio... in the middle of a cute, quiet little park... there is a cabin that belongs to the Girl Scouts of Buckeye Trails Council. It is a cute little cabin with bunk beds and a loft, a dining room, kitchen, fire circle and wooden decks. I have always been fond of Little House. It's camping perfectly suited for brownies on their first overnight.

Last night my little troop went camping there. It was fun and we had a massive bonfire that was so hot we had to wait to cook the hot dogs and marshmallows. But it was nice to be with the girls and their shrieks over spiders and bugs. It was nice to have to remind them continuously to stop yelling, and stop running around the fire ring, and stop chasing the ducks, etc. etc.

It was nice because for a few hours I got to remember what my very first campout was like... in a cabin at Rolling Hills and how that first night has evolved into my passionate quest for the next amazing camp spot.

OK, so they are WAY too loud too early in the morning and I only marginally smell like campfire... and there was "airconditioning" that kind of worked... so it wasn't REAL camping... but all the same.

It was nice.
