2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 59

Golf Merit Badge

Illness is finally passing by.  Just worn out now!

Wood Badge fires up at bright and early in the morning, so I'll be pulling out of the driveway by 5:15.  Am I finished and ready to go?

Of course not!

Today I:

• Finished packing for Wood Badge.
• Tweaked my ticket to turn in to Wood Badge.
• Went to Walmart for the necessary trail mix and soda...for Wood Badge.
• Discussed a pending service opportunity with a local volunteer to help get a public campsite opened in the National Forest....not for Wood Badge.

Today's theme is Wood Badge...and will be for the next three days!  Have you been to Gilwell?

100 Days of Scouting: Day 59

Today I:

Drove to the Scout store to pick up all of my awards for tonight--last minute trip!

Filled out approximately 75 award cards by hand.  Cub Scout Academics and Sports awards are the best!  My guys love earning them, and apparently trying to see which is the weirdest one they can earn.  It is 90 out today, but I'll be giving out not one but TWO belt loops for "Ice Skating".

Worked out final logistics for Webelos Crossover ceremony at the council event this weekend, while camping with the troop an hour and a half away.  Nice weekend!

Pack meeting nights are fantastic!  I love the energy and enthusiasm--and that's before I even see the Scouts!  What special things do you do for Scouting? Comment!
