2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 83

Personal Fitness Merit Badge

Last day of the 111th Virginia State Knights of Columbus Convention.

I was surprised by two positive mentions of Scouting while I was there...and this morning's session did not disappoint either!  The State Deputy had a strong encouragement for the Knights to consider Scouting units if they didn't sponsor one already.

I know many don't.  So many a few units will step up to the plate now.

Today I:

• Drove an extra 90 minutes to pick up my Life from his OA Conclave.  I was literally on the off-ramp after a 2 hour drive home and only 4 minutes from the house when he called.
• Cleared out some Scouting stuff from a section of my shed.

Combined with my last day of the convention, I was not in much of a position to work hard on Scouting today.  Still a good experience, and I have a lead for a couple of ideas to help spread Scouting now, too.

100 Days of Scouting: Day 83

Today I:

Made six deposits for different things for the pack, troop and crew--WHEW!  Glad to have that off my desk!

Helped a Scout take care of a Painting merit badge requirement.  Just had to provide the opportunity...and the paint.

Coming into the home stretch with the 100 Days project--really?  83 days?  This is the only free weekend I have until the end of August.  Half of those are for Scouting!  How about you?  Is your Scouting calendar balanced with your personal needs?
