2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 21

Cinematography Merit Badge

[Kind of interesting that Cinematography was the badge for the day after the Oscars...]

Today is going well.  Took a lot of the weekend off--little Twitter, less email--and have a slightly overwhelming mount of stuff to catch up on.

But that's OK.  There is good work to do, and I'm a lucky man to have found a "hobby" that I can give my all.

Today I:

• Updated the pack's YahooGroup main page for the March theme: Compassion.  The Academic belt loop is Disabilities Awareness and the Sports belt loop is Kickball, in case you were wondering.
• Updated the troop's YahooGroup main page for their March theme: Pioneering, pages 25-34. (BTW, all 3 volumes of these themes are worth downloading and keeping on hand for ideas.)
• Filed a tour permit--last time before the new tour plan comes out tomorrow, with the longer lead times.
• Selected the sites I'd like to visit for as part of a Camp Visitation Team.
• Updated the list of Scouters doing the 100!

My Scouting day began with observing a cedar waxwing three feet outside my window.  Before Scouting it was a "pretty bird".  Thanks to Scouting, it is now a cedar waxwing.  Do you find Scouting adding quality to your non-Scouting life?

100 Days of Scouting: Day 21

Today I:

Had a conversation with a Scout that many Scoutmasters have never had.  The Scout wants to earn the Hornaday Award.  Much rarer than Eagle Scout.

Answered more questions about summer camp.

Posted "A Scout is Kind".  This is going to be popular--I bet you see it a lot over the next few days.

Post a summary of Days 16-20 at Scoutsigns.

Talked to another Scouter that wants to do a 100 Days of Scouting series on his blog!

Wet, cold and melting here--not a great day to be outside.  But a perfect day to discuss earning a Hornaday Award!  What did you get to do for Scouting?  Comment below!
