Tom,

Hi!

re your experiences:

Event 1: PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER.. Archetypal PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER., clueless, unprepared, vulnerable to all possible misadventures.

Event 2: I have come to conclude that for any outing, if I haven't explicitly confirmed that something was packed or done, it probably hasn't. I personally love checklist. The kids used to complain and scorn them. I decided to stop reviewing their preparations, at least when I didn't have to pay for their mistakes. Although their preparations were fairly good, omissions and doubts surfaced. Soon they were welcoming my checklists and advice.

Event 3: Scoutmaster heal thy self. Well I hope you're not in too much misery anyway. Perhaps you need a checklist re applying sun block. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hope you're better soon,

John
