It wasn’t the easiest of shelters
for young scouts to construct
finding wood that wasn’t attached to a tree
was a difficult task in itself
Take the wrong kind of material
and you would attract some serious attention
if not from the leaders guiding you
then the camp warden in charge of the site
Matters of construction
took careful thought and planning
particularly if you were spending
the night in your shelter
Weather could be a friend or foe
Rain could get in on your roof of spruce
While Wind could get in
if the walls weren’t tied correctly
Supper in the den?
Required careful planning
night time treats created over altar fire
had to be a real safe distance
from your wooden hut you were sleeping in
