When my 12-year-old daughter asked to join the local Scout group it was a full-circle moment
. She had seen Scouts doing fire lighting and hatchet skills in the park near our house and wanted to do more of what we do as a family with kids her own age. She recently went winter camping with her troop and stayed in a tent by herself . It’s a bit amazing that my old sleeping bag – bought 25 years ago for a Scouting backpacking trip to Alaska – now keeps my daughter cozy through a cold winter night with her Scout group.
When I think of her snuggled deep in that sleeping bag, with the snow tic-tic-ticking against the side of the tent, her breath frozen in the air while the exertion of the day finally begins to fade, I hope that her adventures always lead her to somewhere warm, dry and safe in the end.for the weekly Parenting & Relationships newsletter for news and advice to help you be a better parent, partner, friend, family member or colleague.
