Club Scouts

We took J to a"Club Scouts" information meeting last night.

The "den" and "pack" seem like a really nice group of people and J is VERY excited about joining.

Ryan and I had talked about J and P joining scouting, but my theory was to wait until they showed some interest or until they were older. I had heard that some kids joined Cub Scouts too early, get bored or burned out and then miss the real fun when it's time for Boy Scouts.

We went last night because J was SOOO excited by the flier they sent home from school about joining. I think his summer at an outdoor camp has given him some notion that spending time in the outdoors isn't that bad (even if it means time away from the wii).

Last night we stayed in the hall with the troop leaders and found out about the activities while they took the kids (even P) to the park across the street and made marshmallow shooters. Of course they came back total Scout converts. Even P is going on and on about going back to the next meeting even though he's too young.

So we are signed up and now all we have to do is get the uniform and get J and P to stop calling it "Club Scouts". Oh, and expect an email asking for you to buy popcorn.
