I need to vent about our Scout group. Again ! However, I have calmed down quite a bit since emailing a fellow Scout Mom. She is super nice and I just adore her.

Anyways! We got a handout from Scouts regarding Family Camp this June. Family Camp is when the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Cub Scouts, and all their family members get together and camp out for a two nights/three days. Some times we need gps fleet tracking to stay on track as there are so many people. Plus, its great fun and we have had a blast in the past. This year tho, the handout said that anyone that is not a Cub, has to pay $50.00 per family. This will cover all the food (except two meals) the camp site fees and misc things. Oh sure, this is great for Families that have Boys, Cubs and Girl Scouts, but what about us Families that have One Kid. ONE ! ! I am soo ticked off.

I was also under the impression that the Commitee would have a say in this. I am a member, in fact, I am in control of the finances….but noooo, nobody asks me how much money there is, how much we can spare, or anything. “They”, whoever they may be, have taken it upon themselves to lay down the rules, and us peons must follow whatever they say.

So I am in the process of finding out if it is okay with “The Almighty Leaders”, if my son and I go up there, reserve our own tent site ($12.67) and bring all our own food (what we happen to have in the house). This would save me more than 50 %. I am all for participation, but I mean really people !
