Letter: Camp Eagles Nest first virtual Scout Camp Dear Mrs. Waggener, I am writing to you for my Communications merit badge for Boy Scouts. The badge requires that I write to an editor of a magazine about any topic, and I chose you. I am writing to share my experience in my first week of Boy Scout virtual summer camp. Thank you, Gabe Coleman This year I had been excited for camp all year long. I was looking forward to sailing and camping at Camp Crooked Creek, but then Covid-19 hit. This is the first Scout Camp that has been done virtually, and they have called it Camp Eagles Nest. This week I took the Communications, Environmental Science, Citizenship in the World, First Aid, and Emergency Preparedness merit badge classes virtually. I will illustrate what my week has been like: I've been attending through Zoom, submitting work through Google classroom, creating videos, and sending emails. Here is my daily schedule: I wake up, eat breakfast, do a merit badge class, work on chores, do merit badge prerequisites, eat lunch, do a class, work on prerequisites, go down to my basement and work out, then eat dinner, do prerequisites, and go to bed. My parents even make me do chores while I'm at summer camp! This week I've learned about different careers in environmental science, how to communicate well with people, how to treat a broken leg, how to interact as a citizen in the world, and how to be prepared for an emergency. This is the first time I have attended a Boy Scout summer camp, and it was extremely fun. The counselors are close to our age and know how to relate to us. They can teach us more effectively than older people. They are easier to relate to. It was super exciting, and I earned five merit badges! I really enjoyed it, and I learned a lot, even if it was different than my expectations before the pandemic hit. This story was posted on 2020-06-20 08:02:51
