      What was the cub scout pack doing there? I thought the new range and target activities policies that went live last year only permitted cubs to do range activities at district and council events?

      You're welcome, @Chisos! I thought there might be some people not currently in the council who might be wondering. Glad to have helped.

      Home Pool Party

      By qwazse · Posted

      The qualified adult may supervise a team of competent youth. Your location is non-trivial. It is easy to let one’s guard down in a home pool. Simplest suggestion; make sure everyone has left the water at designated times. Don’t take for granted the swimmer on the ladder will be out if your back turns away.
