He was a tall, dark auburn colored hair, well-built man with brown eyes. I would ride with the assistant scout master who was a married guy in his late twenties. That Thursday, the vans and trailer were loaded.
We would leave after work on a Thursday as the boys had the Friday off. I was invited to join them and thought it would be a good time to bond with my boys. Late one spring, they planned a camp out to Padre Island National Park. I would assist with their troop sometimes. They advance through Cub Scouts and on into Boy Scouts. That was my scouting experience until I had two boys of my own. A friend had invited me when I was in middle school to come to a Boy Scout camp out with his church troop, but it was a bad weekend for me to go so I didn't. I never made it out of Cub Scouts as a kid.
