Bill Britt is Scoutmaster of Troop 509 in Hurlburt Field, Florida. In a missive recently he comments on the ability of his Scouts to predict stormy weather:
Subject: This is gettin’ old!!
Argggh!
We had an annual multi-troop campout scheduled for the weekend of August 22. Hurricane/TS Fay decides to go right over the camp, so we cancel early.
We schedule a flag retirement ceremony with the VFW for Labor Day and wake up to Tornado Warnings from Hurricane Gustav’s feeder bands.
Now Hurricane Ike is trying to visit us for next weekend’s Spectre Island campout.
We now figure we can offer our services to NOAA as a long term Hurricane predictor for the Gulf Coast. All we gotta do is check out the calendar for future Troop events through November when the season ends.
