The first rendezvous I took my youngest son to, it rained all day every day. In January, in Texas. We were wearing good wool capotes and dressed for the conditions. All the events took place in light, steady rain. On the way home I asked him if he had fun. His answer was yes. I asked if he wanted to do it again sometime he said "yes but dad, everything we did this weekend is against the rules in Scouts" I asked why do you think that is? He said "too many idiots in Scouts"
