[Philmont] A Scout is resourceful

<< You can use it in your tent and get a full body bath with no Youth Protection issues.  >>
 
IN 1976 my wife was the only female on a canoe trip down the lower canyons of the Rio Grande.  At the end of the first day I set up there tent and she took her pan of water inside adn proceeded to take a bath.  The tent looked like a punching bag from the inside out as arms and feet contacted the small tent walls.
 
One of the guys asked what all the wiggling around inside the tent was.  I told him "Susan is taking a bath" and smiled.
 
They all stood there dumfounded and dirty as she emerged clean as always.  It was one om my prouder moments.  When we married she had never camped.  I shared what I had learned from my WWII Sea BEE vet scoutmater and we have never slept dirty on a camping trip.
 
A Scout is resourceful.
