Lisabob 13 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I saw a thing last night that made me happy. I dropped off my son for his first regular scout meeting with his new troop. Then I drove around town for a bit, looking for a place to hang out during the meeting (failed - it is a very small town). So back to the troop meeting place I went, hoping to sit very unobtrusively in the back and read my book. Raucous troop meeting is in full swing, adults are all well away from the boys, and before long, the boys are elbow deep in a box of rope with an older boy teaching them how to tie a knot they'll be using at an upcoming camp out. Happy boys, rope in hand, shouting out "I got it!" to the congratulations of their older troop-mates. At the end of the meeting, driving home, my (16 year old, Star Scout, former SPL) son says: hey mom, I actually learned something today. And wow, there are a bunch of outdoor skills I should probably brush up on because all these older guys in this troop actually know how to do this stuff. Sigh, happy.
