So up until about 3 years ago I was in Boy Scouts and every year we would go to camp bartle for about 10 days during the summer. So the troop I was apart of would take about 30 to 40 guys each year, I really enjoyed it, especially as you get older and when your at the end of your 4th time or your 5th time is the time I think you have the most fun. The reason for that is because after 4 years you can join a group which I won't go into now but it allows you to go anywhere you want in the camp. When you're a 1st to 3rd year all troop only wants you to focus on earning merit badges, which is okay and it makes sense to do it year, but its just not very fun.
Now onto the fun story, the food in these camps is not very good so what we would do is buy food (almost exclusively candy) from the general store or our parents would send us food (even more candy). Now since these camps are in the woods there are many wild animals that want to eat all the food that is around. At night we were suppose to lock up are food in the dads cabin (we slept in tents) but we rarely did because what if you get hungry at night? So one night we all woke up to a scream and we all get up to see our friend Jacob chasing something with a very large stick and with flashlights we see that he is chasing a raccoon that had stolen his bag of potato chips and they ran off into the wood and we didn't see them until about half an hour later when he returned with his chips.
