2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 44

Environmental Science Merit Badge

Pinch me!

I still can't believe I'm finally getting to go to Wood Badge!  S7-598-11-1...

Posts keep floating by about "remembering one more thing..." so I'm starting to feel incredibly under-prepared.  I'm sticking to the list given.  Clothes, uniform, toiletries, sleeping bag, and that's about it.

Still...

Today I:

• Fielded a call from our troop's SPL about remembering to bring something tonight.
• Answered another Scout who wants to keep making tiny, incremental progress on Citizenship in the Nation after the meeting tonight.
• Found out our SPL wants to be the 4th Star Scout candidate for our Board of Review in 2 weeks.
• Created a post about our council's 60th Venture Weekend event.  Out-of-council crew's are invited, too!  I'm trying to make a point that social media can really help out our effort to bring in folks from outside the council.  We'll see if I'm right...;-)  Posted to blog, Facebook, and Twitter.  Holding my breath now.  If even one out-of-council unit shows, I get an "AHA!" moment!
• Prepped for Wolf den meeting tonight.
• Prepped for troop meeting tonight.

Yep, meeting day again.  So much to do, so little time.  I should consider giving up sleep on Tuesday nights...Today's question:  have you ever given up sleep for Scouting?  (Not sleeping well while camping doesn't count!)

100 Days of Scouting: Day 44

Today I:

Contacted our Scout store to see if the Centennial rank badges have come in yet.  Crossing my fingers.

Tweeted registration information about the US Mint--necessary if you want the cheapest option to purchase a BSA Coin.

Posted a piece (1 of 3) on Scoutsigns showing video of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in 1917--definitely Scouting related if you read them.

Prepped #2 to come out tomorrow.  Great view of the Paw Paw Tunnel, still a huge attraction for Scout's to hike through today.

Triggered #3 to come out the day after.  These films are from Thomas Edison's company.

Crushing day at work, so I had to make use of snippets of time.  How about you?  Did you spare a minute for Scouting?  I'm sure you did--tell us all about it.  Big or small, it is all Scouting.
