Cub Scouting has been really fun for me and our Jack. It's work too, somehow this year I ended up being an assistant Scoutmaster for our den (back in the old days they had Den Mothers... sigh), but the campout/camp-in things have been a ton of fun. Every year for Veteran's Day (second Sunday in November) weekend we have a campout near the beach at Hannah Park, near Jacksonville, FL (it's too cold to swim but just right for camping that time of year here), and then in the Spring we do a "camp-in" indoor camping trip.
So far I've slept under a rocket and in the manatee exhibit at a zoo! The upcoming one we'll sleep in a decommissioned US Navy aircraft carrier!
