Memories of youth

I wonder how many had similar experiences growing up in the country. I grew up in a small Ohio farming community. Being born in 1944, I refer to a time in the mid 50s. Many of us boys aged 11-14 were involved in scouts so we had occasional camp outs in the woods. Sometimes we just did it on our own without adult leaders. We had a couple favorite spots in woods and near a creek. We set up a couple tents that the older boys had. We played with knives and told stories, made spears and ate canned food. We shed ours clothes and were all nude and loving it. We also went skinny dipping in the creek. I remember these as wonderful fun times with fire and no adults. What kid doesnt like that! The older boys would tell stories about girls (likely fantasy) and erections would bloom. Then they would tell ghost stories and erections would disappear and we would hear all kinds of noises outside the tent. Finally we would fall asleep around 1-2:00 am.
I remember these times so fondly and wonder if others had similar experiences.
