where 6 when they brought a flyer home from school about the scouts and wanted to join. I sat down with them and asked what they wanted out of the scouts. They were interested in camping. I told them that I would not allow them to join the scouts since I would not be able to participate in any scouting activities with them since they discriminate against atheists. I did tell them we could camp in Western North Carolina since my sister and her husband owned a campground. I purchased the tent, sleeping bags and other equipment and we have camped ever since. They are 16 now. We still go to their campground (nothing like free camping) and enjoy the area. We do volunteer work every year when we go camping in the community my sister lives.
