Campout this weekend, and no surprise, it might rain.

The humorist Dave Barry said “It always rains on tents.  Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent”

So, here we are, camping, maybe in the rain.  The scout motto is “Be Prepared” if we do a good job preparing for the weather, we can still be cheerful in the rain.

This relates well to life.  It isn’t always sunny, but if we remember the scout motto relates to more than camping and we do a good job preparing for any potential problems, we can still be cheerful when things aren’t as smooth as we’d like in life.
