    It feels like I am under a microscope the whole time.

    I just re-read all that and realized that it sounds like I'm negative about it. It is a thrill. I love the program. It is a point of pride to me that I know all of my cubs by name, all 30 of them. I learn the scout's name before I learn the parent's name. They are the reason I'm involved in the program.

    Scouting is an awesome program, IF, and that is a big IF, you have good, dedicated people running the program.

    If not, Scouting isn't worth the time that you put into it.

    My youngest went to the county Pinewood Derby race last year. We don't have competitions beyond that level around here, yet. He didn't win a trophy, but had fun. Still talks about it.

    Scouting is a great experience for the little people. Makes me smile about your youngest.

    you guys are the best and I feel at home here!

    i believe that due to the latent heat of the American steel that my Camaro was proudly made of, the Camaro was colder, but you may have me with the lack of leg room. But I am not a gorilla like Jimmy I am only 5'9" tall.
    Luckily my crystal meth laden wife at the time was using all my income and profit from my stolen checks, tools and stolen cars and jet skiis that she sold and pawned to purchase the highest grade premium meth and keep my newborn son warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
