Default Scouting

I hope I am not violating any board rules. I tried to PM the administrator, but I apparantly don't have enough posts yet. If I am in violation please just remove the post.

Anyway, it is fall recruitment time for scouting and I just wanted to let everyone who has boys in the 1st through 5th grade they can join Cub Scouting, and 6th grade on up can join Boy Scouting. It is a fantastic organization that teaches the boys many skills that can be used throughout there life (and it is a lot of fun). If you need more information just contact your local council (should be able to find online).

Also I would like to encourage any of you that have some free time to volunteer to be a merit badge counselor for the Astronomy merit badge. Scouting is always looking for volunteers to help out. Again contact your local council for more information.

If you want any more information just contact me.

Thanks for reading.

Sorry if I have violated any rules.

Powerwindows,
Thanks for the hint about the astronomy merit badge! That's something I could help out with!

Here is a link to the National Coucil. They can tell you what local council you are in and local council can tell you what units are in your town.

Thanks

I was a den leader from 1993-2001. The parents of the boys had more fun doing the astronomy badge than the boys. I also did an astronomy badge requirement with Girl Scouts twice.
