Roxy & Me: Volunteer-Daughter Campout

Thanks to Troops 41395 and 41104 for planning the campout, fairy tea party and volunteer-daughter games at Bluebonnet Shores. Some came for post-cookie season relaxation, others to try out a Girl Scout camp for the first time. A clear night, no moon and the dance of the planets aligned with a knowledgeable dad and his laser pointer, saving the star-talk when the telescope was broken.
