…and to obey the law of the Pack!
It’s that time of year again when school is in full swing and the Scouts are already planning their first Camping Trip!
Scouting is a wonderful way to teach your youngster(s) about community service, survival and leadership. I worked my way up through the scouting ranks to weblo earning the different merit badges for various accomplishments. It really helped me link academia with the real world.
Scouting is typically offered through your child’s school or church at around age six (first grade). Our particular school has a unique program in that they meet every two weeks as a pack (instead of weekly den meetings). We first say the pledge of allegance together and then divide off into dens where each week a different mom or dad is responsible for leading the meeting. This way, we are never at a loss for volunteers and it cuts down on the expenses for the den leaders.
I would love to hear any ideas you can share about your scouting experience.

Your child will love it!
