Sometimes it seems there's little one can do to avoid recognition. Exactly one year after ensuring my mom finally earned the District Award of Merit, it seems this month I am going to receive the same. And I haven't done a fraction of the good she did during her 30+ years of Scouting - so much catching up to do! 😵
Just back from Wood badge. W1-604-19 100th anniversary. Bobwhite Patrol. My friend got his Silver Beaver this year and landed in the beaver Patrol. And He is working on a scout camp's pond for me during an OA weekend. Seems he's stuck with the Beaver as a personal scouting totem lol.
Just attended the first Eagle CofH in the 24-year history of our local Spanish-speaking troop. The kid was one of my best den chiefs - I couldn't be happier!
Boys are on a hike today. If son #1 completes a few more things, he will earn First Class before summer camp (#3, he's 13). Son #2 completed the Swimming merit badge. We are encouraging them to log for Personal Fitness over summer vacation.
