Quinn earns his Bear Badge...

I got a text from my son last night telling me that my grandson, Quinn, had earned his Bear Badge in Cub Scouts.  That is quite an accomplishment and we are very proud of him. 

I am so glad he took up scouting and has stayed with it.  I have always been a big outdoor enthusiast and am so glad to see that he has taken an interest in scouting, which will lead to an enjoyment of the great outdoors.  Perhaps one of these days, he and I (and maybe his dad and brother Heath) will be able to go camping somewhere.  That would be super.  I think it is good for young boys to learn a sense of fieldcraft at an early age.  Probably not going to be a mountain man, but those skills come in handy and the respect one comes to have for nature and things outdoors really helps to round out one's development. They are things one remembers all through their life.

I won't start packing up the tents and poles right away; my wife might think I am getting a bit close to the edge.  But all that stuff is out in the barn and I know right where all of it is.  Probably wouldn't take more than an hour to gather it all up and load it in the Jeep.  Wonder what Quinn and Doug would think of trap shooting. Hmmmmm.

I still remember the entire Boy Scout motto. I don't remember the serial number of my gun in the army. I don't remember the number of my locker in school. But I remember that Boy Scout code. Tommy Lasorda
