*Why not invite your wife and family along..
With great success, that's the way they do it in Europe!
What goes on that they would not enjoy the company of Royal Rangers
pledged to be *Polite *Kind and *Thoughtfull... Everyboy on his best
behavior and every Leader *Pledged to do his best with God's help!
Those are the make'ns of top knotch memories.....
I recently watched a Canoe instruction video...
Different canoes for differing conditions and a compromise in shape
to get over bummpy water and still track the quiet water..

> Hi all,
>
> On Tuesday we had our Sectional Staff meeting, which I attended. There
> seems to be a disagreement between my outpost and at least two other
> outposts about the amount of sectional camp outs that are scheduled this
> year. Our section has an average of one camp out scheduled per month, for
> the rest of the year. So why am I raising a stink about this? Last
> month, I was gone for three weekends in a row on Ranger camp outs.
> Needless to say, by the end of the third week of camping I was wiped. I
> think what really concerns me is, my wife started to complain about me
> "always being away on Ranger events, and leaving her at home." (since we
> only have one car, I usually use it to haul Rangers and equipment to and
> from events). This obviously concerns me. I love Rangers with all my
> heart, but I don't love it more than my family. When I tried to explain
> this to the other commanders at the Sectional Staff meeting, all I got
> was Commanders rolling their eyes and looks of, Do we really have to
> listen to this.
>
> Where do we draw the line between not enough and too much? When do we
> get to the point where we look at the schedule and say, "Wow, I think we
> over scheduled this year, can't we postpone some of this?" The response
> I got from some of the commanders was, "well them don't go!" but what
> they fail to realize is, two points
> 1. I'm the Health and safety Officer for the section, I am
> suppose to be there, although I can get a substitute if need be.
> 2. If either the Sr. Commander or I don't go, the boys can't
> go. Our outpost doesn't have the man power to take all of the boys to
> all of the events. Usually the Sr. Commander and I can handle it, but if
> one of us cannot make it, then we have a problem.
>
> So, what do I do as a commander, and what do we do as an outpost.
>
> Let me add a P.S. here. Our outpost has a camp out scheduled one
> a month for our boys. These camp outs ranger from a winter camp (we just
> finished it last month) to a backpacking trip (this is our next camp
> out). We want to get the boys out as an outpost as much as we can to try
> to get our boys to work together, which it is already starting to do.
