I’m a USCGA grad myself. Did the Cubmaster thing for 6 years, and I’ve been Scoutmaster for 6.
Yeah, even the reptile thing (snakes . . . why’d it have to be snakes?)
As soon as you realize the Boy Scout program is a MIDDLE SCHOOL program, creating a curriculum for it is way easier.
I divorced three years ago. She lost a bunch of weight and decided to relive High School.
Can’t win them all.
EEEW, high school. Worst time of my life except junior high school. None of my children sees the inside of a school until community college, unless it’s for a Scout recruiting event or something.
Our church holds “overflow” Christmas and Easter services at a local high school, and I took my teenage daughters to sing at one of them. After about three minutes in the school, they both looked at me and said, “Thank you!” “Like, yeah, big time!”
I got to Weight Watchers and work out so I can be tougher than a Cub Scout. I worked three weeks of camp last summer. I’ve never given out on a hike.
I love snakes. We found a black rat snake in the archery range storage barn last weekend when I working a Cub Scouts event. About 5 feet long: I named it Evelyn and texted a picture to the Council shooting sports director. “We haz a snek!” Evelyn didn’t like the disturbance of our getting all the targets out of the barn and slithered off for new adventures.
Someone must have had food at the range. I warned them, if you have food, you get rodents, and if you have rodents, you get snakes.
