The "one hour/week" myth...

 

 

 

 

If you know how to plan and organize your time, AND if you have a dedicated staff that works with you AND knows how the program is supposed to work AND if the Scouts will let you....you should have one hour per week left to spen with your family (NOT your Scout family, either)

One hour/week. Similar to the cubmaster 'one hour/month' myth.

 

OGE, I would add:

Playing in the fire in the evening makes you wet the sleeping bag,

aluminum foil burns up if thrown into the campfire,

it is possible to eat a bar of Ivory soap without throwing up,

and when you DO throw up, you'll blow bubbles instead of lunch,

elmer's glue is not as good as snot,

tasting, that is,

when you swallow a small live fish tied to a string, you can feel it swimming in your stomach,

if you leave it there for 10 minutes it comes out a skeleton,

a watched pot never boils,

they found edible McDonalds french fries in Egyptian tombs (this one is true, I think),

a penney saved is a penny earned,
