Download or read book Funny Stories from Boy Scout Camp written by Seth Jaffe and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seth Jaffe wanted to be a Boy Scout ever since he was five years old, and a Cub Scout breakfast of starchy pancakes with synthetic blueberries convinced him of his calling. Finally old enough to make it into the Show, aka the Boy Scouts of America, Jaffe embarked on camping trips where heroes were made and life's mysteries were solved. And then came summer camp. Filled with hilarious true tales, Funny Stories from Boy Scout Camp is an uncensored and uproarious look inside what really happens at a Boy Scout camp to those who (kinda, sorta) run it. This book recounts events that occurred during Jaffe's summers in the 1990s at Camp Eagle Point Bay on Cardinal Island. These stories include spectacular attempts (and failures) to meet girls while literally everybody around him is getting lucky, an elaborate plan to scare the scouts with someone dressed up as Freddie Kruger, and, of course, that time he missed the boat that was supposed to take him home from camp. Irreverent, very adult, and totally true, this book is a must-have for anyone who went to summer camp-and survived!

Cobb about a rare creature said to live at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
