Not new to Scouting but new here.

[Rockford8070 10]

Hello all.

 

My name is Gerald and while I'm not new to scouting I am new to this site.

 

I started out in Tigers way back when it was pretty new. Dad and I got disgusted by the lack of organization and decided to wait until I was old enough for wolves. I joined Pack 777 out of Smyrna,GA. I worked my way through Arrow of Light, then graduated into Boy Scouts. I joined Troop 211 out of Ft Hood, TX, then worked my way to Eagle, while going through a troop in Hendersonville, TN, Troop 157 I believe. I finished with Troop 130 in Grand Forks, ND as an Eagle class of 1995. The first in my family.

 

I now live in Rockford, MN. I have 2 eight year old boys, Bears, I'm a Den Leader, a Pack Committee Chair, and a District Membership Committee Chair. But hey, it's just an hour a week right?

 

I enjoy scouting very much and I enjoy passing it on to my kids. I know they can't wait to become Boy Scouts. Camping is the end all be all for them. I can't imagine not being involved in scouting so, I'll be involved for a while I'm sure.

 

I look forward to sticking around here a while

I'm another "newbie" on the other side of the same Council, in St. Paul. I'm also an Eagle Scout who has now moved up to spending one hour a week as leader of my son's Tiger Den.

 

If you see a guy with a shirt that's a couple sizes too small (and the wrong color and no ribbons on the shoulder) at any council events, be sure to say hi to me!

Wrong color?

 

What color is that?

 

Yellow, or green?

You mean I'm not supposed to be wearing that yellow uniform shirt?

 

My shade of olive drab is more olive than they are currently.
