Seeing your younger boy dressed up to go to his first Cub Scouts meeting.

I hope he gains half of what I did during my years in the BSA, it was a huge influence in my life.

He will, if he puts half of what he puts into his Jujitsu into his Scouting.

He's much better looking than you. :)

 

Make sure he does the cool stuff.

 

My Cub Scout meetings were a waste of time. My "Den Mothers" were unhappy housewives.

 

Then there was the time I choked on a large marshmallow at a "Blue and Gold Banquet".

 

Things that make you who you are. ;)

 

Make that derby car heavy and lube the axles. Thin wheels and aerodynamic body would be my choice.

 

 

 

The fathers always take over.

Good stuff. I never did Cub scouts, went late straight to Boy Scouts. Wish I had finished my Eagle.

 

What he gets out of it depends alot on you guys, what he puts in, and having decent scout leaders. My first leader, all he gave a crap about was hiking, camping, rafting, and swimming. Ignored all the other stuff. We'd wake up at 6 for a 20 mile hike, then finish the day with an 8 mile hike. Best goddam scout leader I ever met. Once a year we'd have a big weekend where we did all the patch and administrative BS, the rest of the year was fun outdoors stuff.

 

He was replaced with a guy who listened to the parents, who only cared about checking off boxes for patches and collecting more dues. Thats about when most of us kinda dropped out of it.
