Well, I can see the wisdom of organising a father / son camp. I think that I was missing family more than home comforts on that first Scout Camp, so that son has had a gentler introduction to the business of camping. That said, both father and son had their wobbly moments - well, son had wobbly moments, dad had a wobbly weekend. I liked the response of one mother (of a girl cub - there were mothers and daughters as well as fathers and sons) - I had just asked her daughter if she was enjoying herself (and she said "yes"), whereupon her mother said, "Don't ask me, so that I shan't have to lie!"
Ironically, one of the home comforts I missed this time around was the ability to enjoy a hot bath, but yesterday was our annual service visit, and to-day the boiler isn't coming on ...
