Scout Camp
Several factors motivated us to get Mikey into scouting while we were on furlough in the US earlier this year. Not the least of these was that he thrived with the adventures that the scout program provides. Upon our arrival in São Luís we were delighted to find a thriving Boy Scout (Escoteiro) program here. Mikey fit right in, and last week (on his birthday) he went on his first camping trip with his Brazilian "pack".

This is great! An earlier post of yours about Escoteirismo got me poking around online and I found Goiânia has half a dozen scouting troops. Definitely will want to consider this for our boys when they reach this age. Thanks for the tip!
