Retention Basin Camping

Prior to leaving for a scout campout it began to rain.  This year we had cancelled or postponed numerous campouts due to rain.  The ground was saturated.  As everyone was meeting at the Scoutmaster's house, the rain became worse.  Eventually it filled the retention basin behind his house.  This is the first, last and only time that happened.  The Scouts canoed and swam.
