First Scout Camp

From 6-14 to 6-17, the Scouts had a campout in Shatana, which is 7 kms from Husn. We walked there, and spent the weekend on craft projects, music, food, sports, etc. It was fun, except for the day I got a fever (Al Harar). I slept for 15 hours and felt much better the next morning. It was probably a combo of the sun exposure and something I ate.


The Scouts take a breather. They were real troopers, considering how far they had to walk in the blistering sun. We had them hold onto a long rope while we were on the main road (most of the walk) so they would be safe.









Ameen Al-Saddi does his thing. He's really good at crowd control - he's always got some chant or song to keep the kids' attention.












It wasn't all fun and games with the kids. After the dust had settled, sometimes it was good to just take 'er easy, Jordan-style.
