Once I was at a camp. As I said before they were understaffed, so when they were doing night patrols and staff meetings at night, us LITs were in charge of watching over our individual cabins. So the basic rule was heads down, lights out. I of course knew what it was like to be a kid. So I stood watch by the window in case any leader approached and let all my campers use flash lights and talk. So what they did was use the strobe option on the flash lights and pretty soon we had a blinking flash party in the cabin. No one was loud but they did talk. Finally after some time, I saw the leader returning to the cabin so I said " lights out, heads down the leaders here!" For their credit they did put out all the lights and had all heads down by the time the leader was back. Next day I do my job around camp and hear from one of my cabin campers at lunch that one of the other cabin people told a leader. What they did not know was this was a tradition at this camp to let LITs do this.
So HA I was never in trouble.
LIT means leaders in training.
Thanks y’all for the love and support! I sincerely appreciate it. And I’m currently reading the comments. Thank you!
