About 15 years ago, 2 of my sons joined a boy scout troop that had been in the neighborhood continuously for about 80 years. They were really into traditional boy scout stuff like pioneering projects where you lash things together. Every year there was a big display from all troop around the city where they show all their scout knowledge. Over the years I saw them build a ferris wheel, 2 towers with a zip line between them and a merry go round, all out of pine tree logs and rope. This kind of reminds me of one of their projects.
I guess the interesting thing is that the kids pictured here are all smiles. They may live in squallor and have empty stomachs but you got to give them credit for having a good time when the opportunity offers it.
