Hi, everyone! I am back from Wood Badge training and have finally finished reading all the posts. I'd like to offer a big welcome to all the new beachers.
This training session was so different from the first when we had 100 degree temperatures. All three days this time we had temperatures in the 40's. The wind was so strong on the first day that only certain cookstoves would stay lit. We had a LOT of rain but still had a ton of fun. They did have to cancel our conservation project since we could not morter to make the fireplace rings in the rain but we'll come back in February to do whatever Ranger Roy needs us to do. One day they let us wear our blue jeans under our scout shorts since it was so cold.
The food was about as far from OP as you could get but I have no cravings from it. I'm up a little but I'm sure I can lose that pretty quickly. A lot is probably water retention from all of the salt in the processed food. And we didn't drink a lot of water since it was so cold. I did have lots of hot tea though and only drank one cup of hot chocolate.
I was the only woman elected as permanent patrol leader of any of the eight patrols so I do have some continuing responsibilities for our patrol. We're now like a family after this training.
