Passing it on

One of my Scouts showed up at our meeting last week with her nose stuck in a Campmor catalog.  Her first ever.  "Have you seen this?  They have everything in here!"  She wanted to show it off, like some special treasure.

You never forget your first.  The campmor catalog was a staple in our house but I don't think I seriously picked one up until I was about 11.  I'd grown out of my kid sized bag and needed a new one.  Dad taught me that one must not pick sleeping bags by color alone.
