2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 85

Pets Merit Badge

Do you ever get frustrated because other people in your life don't live by the Scout Oath and Law?

Today was that day at work.  Frustrating to work with people who lack a little accountability...and courtesy.

Maybe we should add it as a new Eagle merit badge?  Personal Fitness, Personal Management, Personal Responsibility...;-)

Today I:

• Discussed impact of being a District Commissioner on my schedule.  Haven't heard anything yet, but I'm trying to be prepared so I can hit the ground running.
• Prepped for my Wolf meeting tomorrow night.
• Met with our Charter Organization.

...and worked another twelve hour day!  Holy mackerel!  When am I supposed to get all this Scouting done? ;-)

100 Days of Scouting: Day 85

Today I:

Deposited more overdue summer camp fees--not a problem though, folks are just so busy now.

Purchased a new 3-man tent and a new sleeping bag.  Scouting related?  Yep.  Bag is for me, tent is one I hope the Scouts will adopt for our excursions.  Either way, I'll probably keep the tent for me...

Posted information on the new fundraiser the council is having.  Books-A-Million is having a book fair, with proceeds going to the council.  Nice idea!  Competitions and more.

Added a Scout to the troop's YahooGroup--he finally has his own email address!

Answered a slightly anxious question from a new Boy Scout mom--apparently, he is going camping but isn't exactly sure where we are going...or when...or for how long...Great opportunity to educate her on the "go ask your patrol leader" method.

Finally, a full day of Scouting!  Some days just lend themselves to it better than others--I think it is by staying vigilant to opportunities.  What do you think?
