2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 79

Nuclear Science Merit Badge

Well, by now you know what Wednesday is--meeting day!

Today started off with a final check for awards due at the Pack Meeting tonight.  There is usually a late arrival, but not this time.

Storms are coming, but we are going to talk about Faith (April's theme) and the power of "Outing in Scouting" tonight.  Can't wait.

Today I:

• Filled out advancement form.
• Met with our ASE on a couple of projects I'm excited about.  One is a new fundraiser--a bike race.  The other is a virtual roundtable project to overcome the distances, time and gas expense of catching roundtable each month.
• Prepped for the pack meeting--filling out award cards, getting props pulled together, trying not to drive my family crazy since I'm so busy...
• Answered a Scout who thinks he is ready for Second Class tonight.  We'll have a Scoutmaster conference during the meeting and see!

We are only 3 weeks away from the big finish of 100 Days of Scouting.  No matter how you did (every day, missed some, threw in the towel) you have inspired someone.  Let's finish!

100 Days of Scouting: Day 79

Today I:

Caught up all of the Scout accounts for the troop and the pack.

Emailed each family with the total bill they owe for summer camp this year.  Very painful with families where they have 3 or 4 Scouts in the program, and especially if Dad wants to come along.

This took up most of my free time today--I'm very careful to make sure all accounting is squared away before I give them the camp bill.  Is this a problem for you?
