2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 17

Bugling Merit Badge

Thinking a lot about the 100 Days of Scouting project today.

I get feedback via Twitter and email from other Scouters who are enjoying the activity.  Made me start thinking about some other ways to take the 100 Days approach in other areas of my life.

The process makes you focus, each and every day on the subject at hand.  How would this work for exercise for those of us with a "Scoutmaster build"?  What would it do for the family relationships in your life, especially those with "Scout widow(er)s"?

The whole point of this project is to change lives...and that might include my own.

Today I:
  • Posted about a council fundraiser online via blog, Facebook and Twitter.  Thank you Trail's End for helping some of my Scouts afford summer camp.
  • Updated "The List" of 100 Days of Scouting participants--24 now.  Just amazing.
  • Received a letter letting me know that I will be getting something special at a Scouting dinner soon...that was out of the blue.
  • Swapped voicemail with another Scouter about helping with a Chaplain's Aide training he would like to do.
  • Helped my Wolf complete another iteration of project we did at a den meeting a couple of weeks ago--making book jackets (second page).
More rain and wind coming on strong for the next two days, but my Scouting parade isn't being rained on!  How about yours?

100 Days of Scouting: Day 17


Today I:

Prepped the awards for the pack's Blue and Gold dinner tonight.  My Cub Scouts are loving the new belt loops!

Signed up Scouts for summer camp--one week for Cub Scouts, one week for Boy Scouts.  I love summer.  [If you are looking for a new camp, Camp Rock Enon is about 2 hours west of Washington, DC.]

Posted information from our council and summer camp onto Facebook.  Webelos Crossover is right around the corner!

Got this in early today, because it will be a busy night at the Blue and Gold!  How did you mark the anniversary of Scouting in your units?  Tell us!
