It sounds like Jan's crossed the bridge from Cub Scouting to Boy Scouting as
well a couple of nights back:
>I have finished my career as a Cub Scout leader, effective last night. My
>youngest son crossed the bridge, his proud dad on the Webelo side of the
>bridge, me watching as his den leader with my assistant leader in the
>crowd, my oldest on the receiving side of the bridge, waiting to shake his
>brother's hand. They grow up so quickly.
But they aren't the only ones who has grown quickly over the years,
Jan....*smiling*
>Just as I am taking off all the patches on his shirt to
>represent his new beginning, I go from feeling somewhat knowledgeable
>about Cub issues to feeling very unsure about Troop issues. I want to
>thank my friends on this List, without who's support on what to do and how
>to handle the tough ones, I would never have made it through Cub Scouts so
>successfully. I look forward to my chats on future Boy Scout issues.
It just means now, Jan, that you'll have to move to a "stomp" closer to some
of us Boy and Varsity Scouters around this "virtural campfire".
But before you move over a few stomps, Jan...remember when you were unsure
about Cub Scouting and Pack issues?? Don't forget to share all of that
knowledge you gained from all of us with all of those *pointing to the back
side of the "campfire", where all of those lurkers are sitting* folks as
they make their way to the front of the "fire", to warm themselves and to
talk about problems and challenges they have in their Cub Scouting
experiences and those of their sons!
Congrats, Jan....
Settummanque!
