Jacob is 11 and the troop and troop leader of his 11-year old scout pack. He's the only member of the pack his age group and he is able to enjoy the overnight camping trips if Scott goes with him (which gives this mama a little piece of mind that he will be looked after).
So, during his first overnight there were many memorable surprises mixed with memories of fun I had to share. They drove a few hours away to the local "mountains" and during the Winter Camp the reminded that they should expect snowfall. Jacob and his friend Bryce were sleeping in a two man tent and during the night, the tent collapsed due to all the snow on the roof. As they realized they were trapped, they tried to escape via the front entrance. The zipper was frozen closed and wouldn't budge. Scott thought that they were laughing and joking around when he heard laughter and shouts. He was in a tent close by, but didn't realize that they needed help. Finally the boys were able to break free and headed to the kitchen area to get warm.
