Boy’s RYLA Camp
July 25, 2012
As I left Estancia, I met with
PDG Dick Jones. We hit the road again
heading for RYLA. 45 minutes later we
were at the Boy’s RYLA camp and preparing for a one hour presentation on “Leadership
and Failure”. At 7:00 that evening I was
speaking again from the position as Governor, encouraging 61 of the best young
men I have ever met, to be better by using the 4-Way Test.
61 young men, viral and still
ready to go, and a number of councilors with smiles and excitement showing
through tired and exhausted grins welcomed us into their home for one
week. I was amazed to see the variety of
students and the energy that appeared to come from nowhere and exist at all
times.
The talent show was too funny one
time and too strange the next. Some
things we understood and some I found myself scratching my head feeling very
old and disconnected. We were welcomed
and taken in as if each of these participants had known us all of their lives.
The next day we watched some of
the RYLA Olympics and then headed home.
A long and wonderful week had been accomplished and it was finished with
the most excellent of “Cherry Toppings”, RYLA.
