March 19, 200521 yr Hi all, I just stumbled across Scouter network and have been "lurking" for the past 3 hours (it's getting late!) I'm excited to be here and as soon as I get the nerve, I may even participate in some of the discussions - there are some pretty heated ones going on out there!! Anyway, I am a mom of 3 boys - a Bear, a Tiger, and a barely-one-year-old. I stepped in as Wolf den leader last year when most of our menfolk (and all den leaders) deployed to Afghanistan. I am a Bear DL this year and LOVE it! My husband is a Tiger DL. Instead of moving on to Web 1, he and I are going to co-lead (that should be interesting!) a Wolf den until he deploys again. In a million years, I would have NEVER seen myself involved in Cub Scouting - my boys, yes, but not me. Now, I can't imagine not being involved, as it has become such an important part of our family.
March 19, 200521 yr howdy, watch out this scouting stuff is addictive. I have received all the training available so far. Still need BALOO but our district offers it in the fall and I missed the last one. I registered for another districts course but the leader broke her foot and cancelled it. I am currently inbetween my Woodbadge weeks. So much fun. lynn
March 19, 200521 yr Welcome. Glad to hear that scouting has been a positive experience for you and your family.
March 19, 200521 yr Yes, this scouting stuff is addictive. I work just to support my "scouting habit"! Carol
March 21, 200521 yr It's kind of funny what twists of fate bring you to this point. Enjoy the time. We look forward to hearing from you.
March 22, 200521 yr Welcome to BSA Addicts Anonymous Step Number One: We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our lives had become unmanageable. Nah!!! It's manageable. Welcome to the forum and the next 18+ years of your life... We're glad you're here.
March 23, 200521 yr Welcome mythreesons! I stumbled across here looking for gift suggestions for my son's Webelos II's den & I'm glad I did! Yes, it's a very rewarding experience! My son started as a Bear in Sept 2002 & on March 20th graduated from Webelos II to Boy Scouts & I was lucky enough to be the Assistant Den Leader! I've had great time watching the boys grow & learn & I've learned right along with them! Enjoy being part of a Scouting family! My daughter's in her 3rd year of Brownies & bridges to Juniors this June! Judy
