News from Scout camp

So, today at the pool I saw a friend that lives down the street. She came over and said, “I have a story to tell you about your son”. Apparently, her husband volunteered a day and night at Boy Scout camp, where Cory is this week. When he came home, this is the story he told her.

Apparently a rather large snake found its way into one of the tents, and all the sissy-boy camp leaders* were squealing and using sticks to get it out. They finally got it out of the tent, but couldn’t “shoo” it out of the camp site. The story goes, my son pushed through all the wussy daddies, walked up to the snake in true Jeff Corwin fashion, and grabbed it by its head in the proper snake hold, walked into the forest and let it go…..all to the stunned silence of the scout leaders.

One of the classes he had signed up to take and get a badge in was “Reptiles and Amphibians”.

You think he passed and got his badge?

**edited to add that they knew it was non-poisonous…Cory has memorized the The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Reptiles and Amphibians from cover to cover.
