After so interesting experiences in the Transatlantic
Council, I caught up with my travel agent in Warner-Robins, GA. He was so glad to get me back that he began planning my next adventures. While he planned, and worked, I took the time to see the sights and visit local scouts. One of my first stops was a Girl Scout Night. I learned that Brownies are a whole lot like Cub Scouts, full of energy & fun. Miss Georgia, Heather Hogan was there.

Another stop was with local Pack 220 from Robins AFB in Warner Robins. It gets really hot here in the summer and one thing the boys like to do to cool off is to play in the raingutters. Scrubby and I attended an interesting boat race called a "Raingutter Regatta". Each scout was given materials to make aboat. They then use cub provided air power to "sail" their boats from one end of a rain gutter to the other. Scubby and I got the best seats. We were right in the middle of the action.
Dear Journal;
In July, I went on vacation with Mr. Faust and his family. From Georgia we went to Ohio. The trip there was long as we had to go through two other states, Tennessee and Kentucky. Over the 4th of July, we were in Marion, OH. They have a large park area with Memorials to all the Servicemembers that gave their lives in conflicts in United States history from the Revolutionary War to Persian Gulf War. On the evening of the 4th, I went to Prospect, OH (Just down the road a piece) and celebrated with an outdoor picnic, music, pony rides, and a whole lot of other stuff. It was a really carnival-like party The evening was concluded with a really neat fireworks display.
2003 Lay Over in Georgia
After my trip across Canada I was again in the United States. This time while in Georgia, I stopped by the local Scout Council Office in Macon. Out front of the office is a Bronze scout statue. I pawsed a moment to have my picture taken. Another stop was the Robins AFB Library. This is where Mr Faust host Jamboree on the Internet. I sat on the shelf and watched all the people go by. I didn't get to spend much time here as I was here for just a few weeks before I left for to Australia. Dear Journal;
After my walkabout Australia I am again in the United States. This time while in Georgia, I plan on visiting some local Cub Packs and Show off some of my stuff. I am suppose to leave again in September but I hope to attend a couple local Pack meetings and share the news about what I have learned in my travels, I now have two Camp Blankets, one from Canada and one from Australia.
