Camp Mabry, Austin Texas
On 6-6-05 Comanche District Cub Scouts held a military theme Basic Training day camp on Camp Mabry in Austin. Lone Star MVPA had been asked if we could provide a vehicle to transport scouts around the base and John SS volunteered his deuce.
Early Monday morning John drove the deuce to Mabry, accompanied by Rory C, arriving at 7:30am. They spent the day taking loads of Cub Scouts and their adult leaders from the scout area to the military museum for a tour. After the tour they were taken back “the long way” to enjoy more of a ride. By the time the museum closed at 5pm, around 190 scouts and 40 adults had been carried. The ‘talking cargo’ all appear to have had a good time. John and Rory were given “Thank You” certificates in front of the assembled scouts at the end of the day.
At 5:30pm, John and Rory headed north in the deuce through rush hour traffic, hot and tired but happy, both feeling they had accomplished something good for the kids.
