Cub Scout Camp

So there I am; sun beating down on me, standing in knee-deep grass.  I have been properly doused with deet and sunblock.  I am wearing a hat and close-toed shoes.  My husband told me I was pushing the limits with a tank top, but I argued that I had layered 2 of them and reminded him I would be standing in knee-deep grass with the sun beating down on me, so I was going to wear the tank tops.  

I was catapulted back to my youth when I spent my first grade year in Brownies.  I went to meetings and went through the little ceremonies and I was so excited to go to day camp.  But I was in no way prepared for what I was about to encounter at girl scout day camp.  First they made me wear heavy tennis shoes and socks.  And it was hot.  Then I had to wear a hat that itched my head and made me sweat.  There were bugs all over, the grass itched my legs and a girl was stung by a bee and was taken away in an ambulance.  I couldn't wash my hands very well from the milk-jugs-hanging-from-tree faucet and my sandwich was wet from the cooler.  I never went back and I never did anything involving scouts.  Until my senior year when my boyfriend, now husband, was working on his Eagle Scout.  I went on a camp-out with his troop and actually had some fun.  I wasn't a fan of the sharing showers with whatever stranger happened to be staying at the camp ground, but I had a faucet and a plug so I could blow-dry my hair at least.  Over the years I have learned a great deal of camping and have gone camping a little.  I wouldn't say I enjoy it but I know my husband likes it and I can have a good time so we dabble...but I digress...
After recovering from my flashback I decided my son was going to like this and I was going to just enjoy it with him because even though it isn't me, it isn't about me.  So I dove in.  I fished and made crafts and shot a slingshot and watched a helicopter land and had a fire truck spray me down and climbed across a monkey bridge and directed the skits we performed and this is how I ended up...

and this is how WE ended up...

Now I still contest that 5 days is a long time.  He was exhausted as was I but I would not trade last week for any other in my life.  I got to do this and help the pack because I have my own Scentsy business.   


I make my own hours and work when I want.  I am not saying it just happens;  I do have to facebook and twitter and blog and send out emails and keep making connections but I love doing those things anyway and building my brand has become a challenge for ME.  Raising my own kids is my career, Boutique Scents is how I make some money and have some fun.  Give me a call or email me and I can share this amazing opportunity with you, then you can have fun going to cub scout camp too!  ( I think maybe a spa day should be next)
