Talk:Corps 1990s/@comment-26273181-20150403191138

For the last part of 1995 I was in Corps as a freshmen. I recall running an awesome skills program for the new scouts at the campout with Derrick South. Judsen Vandiver and I nailed that. I remember being in the Corps with Russel Myers, my buddy from camp. Doug Cooper was in there too. The fact Cooper wasn't on staff was a stiking testament that the troup wasn't about nepatism.

I recall watching the older Corps guys rip apart our new Corps trailer on the september campout.

I recall a campout where we ate nothing but twinkees and dr. pepper.

I also remember seeing the old Corps guys who didn't make staff at summer camp in 1996. I was really struck by their enthusiasm to be at summer camp in spite of being back in corps. That made a huge impression on me for when I later returned as an Assistant Scoutmaster to the Corps. There was real dignity in Corps members who participated, and everyone who was "pushing for staff" had missed it. It eventually became my job to cultivate these ideals.
