3rd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 12

Day 12

...and then it was my turn.  Everyone seems be recovering from a 24 hour stomach bug, so they can help me like I helped them.

Today's Scouting will consist of reading email and trying not to share the illness outside of my home.

A Scout is courteous...

2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 12

Automotive Maintenance Merit Badge

OK, so today didn't go as planned.

After a long night of high winds--30-40 mph--I checked the weather (loving my new smartphone!) and found not only a new "wind advisory" but that it was expected to get worse during the day, with gusts of 60 mph.

No fires, couldn't keep stoves lit, and now dangerous.

Yes, we called it a day and got everyone delivered to their homes safely.

Today I:

• Made the call:  we bugged out!  Rarely have to do this, but sometimes circumstances call for it.
• Helped a couple of Scouts buy breakfast at McDonalds.
• Spoke to a Scout who is trying to finish off Personal Management before the Board of Review on Wednesday.

The rest of the day was unexpectedly free.  Do your Scouting plans ever get interrupted?

100 Days of Scouting: Day 12

Today I:

Passed along plans to build outdoor planters for Woodworking merit badge--and they are free.

Received, and will probably accept, an offer to join a BSA camp inspection team for VA and NC.

Emailed the logistics for a Free Throw tournament coming up soon, courtesy of the Knights of Columbus in our area.

Kind of a weird day, but I found some things to get going for Scouting.  You?
