We just had our Sect'l camp out recently and the sleeping arrangements were
open to the boys as far as who shared a two man tent with who. The Commanders
had a tent to their self's which was centrally located in order to hear all that
goes on. Now this was for our own outpost only.
One of the other outposts had a visiting parents along with one of their new
pioneers. The boy camped with his outpost while his parents and sisters were
required to camp in a visitors section. The parents were allowed to watch the
overall activities in order to see what RR is all about. As the Sect'l leader,
the father expressed his gratitude for allowing him and his family to come and
observe the activities and expressed a desire to become more involved in his
son's outpost. His comment to me about seeing his son as being treated as "one of
the boys" made a great impression on him, and the fact that he and his family
were so welcomed by everyone.
This family does not attend church with their son! I think that seeds have
been planted ( at least waterd....since it rained on us at least once each day :
)
Let's add the subject of family participation to this discussion line.
