Working with Rainy Days
Few of us like to think that rain will spoil our troop or pack
camping plans. However, if the weather I've experienced during
camping programs is any indication of what's normal, I would
have to conclude that a plan for rainy day activities should
be included on every camp's program--somewhere near the top!
