As school ends all over the country, for some of us, the countdown begins until school starts again. A lot of us have a summer filled with exciting activities, and others may just have one biggie planned. For my little troop, things started on a different note, as April rolled around, we made plans to…
The other night, I took the oldest boy to see Iron Man 2...for the money, it was worth it. The boy and I had fun, and he thought it was pretty cool to go to a movie at 9:30 PM.

Tonight, the boys from the troop are serving chicken dinner at the Moose Lodge...I talked about this in Show 25, but we got a call from the Lodge to see if we could help again this weekend. We accepted and should have a good time.

I just came home from our Blue and Gold dinner....that in itself rocked the house. The dinner was at our usual place, Legend's in DePere. We had the same dinner, and yes, there were service issues, but nothing was going to get me in a bad mood...ya see, I knew that I was getting 6…
I just wanted to drop a quick note, not saying that I am back, but as it stands, I really don't have any reasons to stay away. Today, I am 2 days away from having a bonafide troop...officially, 6 boys will wear the colors of Troop 1363.

Hey all... It's time for me to take a break. I don't have any bad things that have happened, or nobody has done me any wrong [see last year]... I have to focus on my troop and, well, it's a necessary evil that my show and blog really get pushed to the back burner...

I got my Christmas present early, and decided to do a quick review on it God Bless my mom, she got me some new gear for my pack, a Brunton Lucy Lantern. It's lightweight and runs on the fuel canisters that I am already carrying in my pack.

I have 2 guests on this week's show, Cliff Jacobson and Keith Westergaard. We went very long, so I cut some of the show and saved a large portion for more upcoming shows. We had a great time, and Cliff is a great guy...you all know about Keith, so I need to say no more...
I am a fan of things that are old, but just as much a fan of new. I like to see an axe that has been handed down through the ages, always sharp, always shiny, always having a great sheath to cover it.

Last Friday night, I drove to Cub Scout World to visit the pack and see what Mrs. Cleary and the middle boy were doing, and to enjoy the last-night-of-camp festivities. Each theme-building has a campfire where they do skits, songs and stories...a really good time.
Today, I have decided to take a look back at some of the things that make me do this scouting thing. Later on tonight, I am going to be enjoying some skits and songs at Cub Scout Camp, at the last session of the summer.
So I decided to burn the midnight oil and get this show recorded before I go camping with Ethan. See you all soon, and have a great week, and I will try to update from camp, via Twitter or the blog...you can download it HERE

So, I haven't had to mention how unsafe this is....sorry for the lack of posts...
It's 11:30, end of another great day...the boys really came together as a patrol, I am so lovin' this job! One downside...had an adult leader from another unit try to over-ride my authority of the boys...the boys were fine, he decided that it was his call to step in...needless to say, I don't think that…
Wow, that is all I can say. My scouts did awesome...this is why I do this...so content right now, I can't describe it...I love this job!!! G'nite, world...
...
...
Another awesome day, I will be home tomorrow with a full report...probably a show about it... We could be in for a storm tonight, gonna batten down the hatches...
The boys are up and have been for an hour...it looks like it will be time later on today for that time honored tradition of the "Scoutmaster's Nap"...
