S’mores Trail Mix
It’s always fun to have the girls put together their own trail mix before a big hike or other outdoor adventure. It also makes for a great meeting activity! This recipe comes courtesy of Kenmore Cub Scout Pack 529 in upstate New York; a friend helps run the pack & shared this super easy, super yummy recipe with me. Enjoy!

Yes, the song Moonshadow was made famous by Cat Stevens, though I learned this song at camp long before I knew anything about Cat Stevens. We sang it frequently by the fire as some of the last songs of the evening to wind down before bed.
(Chorus) I’m being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plough, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Oh, well…
I won’t have to work no more
And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Oh well …
I won’t have to cry no more.
Chorus
And if I ever lose my legs
I won’t moan and I won’t beg
Oh if I ever lose my legs
Oh well…
I won’t have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Oh well…
I won’t have to talk…
Did it take long to find me
I ask the faithful light
Ooh did it take long to find me
And are you going to stay the night.
Chorus
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
