When all of us started saying it wasn’t tolerable that the leaders had furnaces & fireplaces, she agreed it was wrong
When I was in girl scouts, all of us often went on camping trips. Toward the end of the season, it was getting nippy at night. There was a firepit where all of us cooked our food & boiled water, but it did very little to provide us any warmth. The people I was with and I all pulled our sleeping bags as close to the firepit as possible, hoping to get some warmth. The people I was with and I could not figure out why our scout leader wasn’t complaining about the cold, because she didn’t appreciate camping. The people I was with and I looked over & there she was in her sleeping bag, & she appeared to be comfortable. The people I was with and I could not understand why she was comfortable, but all of us weren’t. The people I was with and I all had the same girl scout regulation sleeping bags. The next afternoon, I asked her how she could be so moderate all night? She showed myself and others a small portable gas furnace she purchased, she had 1 portable gas furnace near her feet & another portable gas furnace in the middle of the sleeping bag. She told myself and others she didn’t go anywhere without them, but normally, she would sleep in the tent with the other leaders. There was a fireplace & a furnace in the cottage house, but the tents just had a small gas furnace. The people I was with and I all loved camping, but periodically all of us wished all of us could be in the heat with the leaders. When all of us started saying it wasn’t tolerable that the leaders had furnaces & fireplaces, she agreed it was wrong. I know that’s why she purchased the portable gas furnaces & started sleeping outside with the rest of us. I didn’t care if she slept inside, however she could have taken us with her.
