Chance and the Cub Scouts

Ahhhh, Chance has reached that age where he gets to join several boys his own age in the Cub Scout program. Chance has been looking forward to becoming a Cub Scout since his brother is a Cub Scout and his dad is the Cubmaster.

He went to his first den meeting this past week. I wondered how he would feel since his good friends in the neighborhood are either in the next den up or haven't yet joined Cub Scouts.

Chance came home very excited about cooking a meal next time. Tinfoil dinners to be exact. Chance doesn't know what tinfoil dinners are, so we'll need to show him tinfoil and explain the process of preparing a tinfoil dinner a bit before he goes to the next meeting.

I was impressed though that Chance seemed to have gotten all of the details for next week. I imagine this was no small feat seeing as how there are about 12 boys that come each week and I know of no group of Cub Scouts that has ever been accused of being quiet and subdued. 12 little bodies bopping all over the place, full of energy and fun. This is normally not an ideal situation to hear details of an upcoming event. Yet, Chance came home and told me that they were going to make dinner and eat at scouts next week and that scouts would be held at 6:00 instead of 7:00 since they would be eating.

I am impressed that he heard the info through the clamor. Way to go Chance!
