Last week was our Boy Scout troop's summer camp. It was a great camp for the boys, but, no I'll be nice and won't say what I almost typed [with regards to troop leadership] .
One afternoon, as an assigned conservation project, we took a group of scouts to a trail that needed some sprucing up. We had axes, loppers, a machete, hedge trimmers, etc. Man, those scouts had a blast! There was a huge tree across the trail -- it was a chain-saw tree, but what the heck, so we [following all safety precautions for scouting, I might add] let each scout have a turn at hacking away at it! You would have thought those boys had died and gone to heaven!!
Anyway, here's a pic of ME! I sorta sucked, but I did let some chips fly!
