My son (9 yrs) was getting ready for a sleepover at a friend's house the other week, and dug out his sleeping bag - last used at Cub Camp last summer. A pair of pants - not his own - fell out.
Now THAT is a Cub Camp, when you end up with someone else's pants in your sleeping bag!
Got any other camping stories to share?

At Beaver Camp 2 years ago I camped with about 30 children aged 6-8 years, sharing in groups of 4. One boy crawled out of his tent in the middle of the night for a wee, and then, in his befuddled state, got into a completely different tent. Finding an empty sleeping bag, he crawled in quite happily.
The whole camp was woken up at 5.00am by the second boy, who had rolled out of his sleeping bag in the night, shouting "There's someone in my sleeping bag!"
Ah, happy days! (Said slightly nervously, with Beaver and Cub camp ahead this summer)

My son went on a 3 day cub camp aged 8. When he got home, it was clear that he'd worn the same pair of pants all the time, as the ones I'd packed were untouched, When I questioned him about this, he said reassuringly "It's ok, I didnt have a poo whilst I was there, so my pants didn't get dirty and I didn't need to change them"Confused
