A Scouter's weekly notes on camp, Wood Badge and unplugging.
Showing 1–10 of 10. Each title opens the post in a new tab.
This weekend is it for me. After several years of trying to get to Wood Badge, the weekend is finally here. I was able to make my schedule work this time around so starting this Friday through Sunday (then another weekend at the end of the month), I'll be attending Wood Badge.
Well, it's that time of year again. I've just returned from another wonderful week at Camp Friedlander. As a result of another week visit, we had to take a hard look at what not only my own boys packed (I took three boys with me), and what to tell the other 60 boys to bring.
What a weekend, and with the looks of it, it appears I will stay in my Scout uniform most of the week. It started off Saturday morning with the Webelos Geologist Activity Badge. Most of the Webelos I & Webelos II from the Pack were there, and from the looks of it, with over 80 Webelos…

If you read the post from yesterday, you know late afternoon yesterday I unplugged…and after a day, I still stand by my original comment, this is exciting times for me. I wasn't bombarded by tweets, posts, check-ins. I wasn't left thinking about negativity I usually encounter in my day because folks try to be clever.
After reading several disturbing comments posted to Facebook, Twitter, and Blog Posts, I've reached a social conclusion. Some folks don't have a life, some folks definitely need to get one (a life that is), and flat out, we've become less of a social world despite the growth of social media.
As I posted yesterday, we have a tremendous month of September coming up, most of it Scouting related. Swimming and band will take up some of October, and more Scouting… Before I get to that, what's a little disappointing is that once again Woodbadge training for me has been postponed.
This is actually a two-part post…first, my wonderful family. I just couldn't be more proud. As those of you who know me know, we've adopted four children from China, tw0 7-year olds, a 5 year old, and a 3 (almost 4) year old.
