Just got back from weekend one. Overall pretty satisfied. The first day was pretty overwhelming but our Troop Guide is great and really pushed us to focus on what a vision is and not just a list of things we can do as our tickets.

The Staff (some of them) you could tell they carried themselves with this air of "elitism" but like I said a lot of people were not like that. I understand their "vision" is to see wood badge a certain way, but it is what it is.

Going into the Game of life, I was a bit apprehensive because of the things I had heard about. The staff was pretty sensitive about it because they said afterwards, that they have had people almost and in some cases go to fisticuffs. Our group worked together pretty well with other patrols to make it really Win, all you can. rather than Win all you can like the other side of the room had. It was easy to pick up pretty quick.

I understood the critter pride. I didnt have anything wrong with it. Some people (staff) took it to a scary pack rat level with some of their collectibles in their tent area.

Im excited to work on my tickets related to getting parents more active in cubs.

I used to be an Antelope...

and apparently were rare.
