I went to summer camp with my Boy Scout troop for a week earlier this summer. I earned four merit badges during this time. One of those badges was for swimming, which I really wanted to get since I wasn’t a very good swimmer. Getting this badge has led me to the sport of swimming and I now swim for a team and will be swimming year round. Maybe next year I will give the mile swim a try. The food was also very good for camp food. I also spent a lot of time with my scouting friends. But the thing that made camp Ocanickon worth it was the counselors. They always believed in you even when you didn’t believe in yourself. Overall it was the best week of my entire summer. Thanks to my troop and my camp counselor Mark Ficalora who I won’t forget. I love scouting and every boy should at least try it.
