I’m breaking from talking about the fishes I won at auction at SAKE last month to tell you about something interesting that happens tomorrow. My son is working on his eagle project, a major step in becoming an eagle scout. For his project, he will be clearing access around ponds… Continue reading
I’ve been goign through the 12 points of the scout law, and today we hit point #7, a scout is obedient. Taking this out of context is one of the more controversial points that not everyone will agree upon. Remember that the scout law was written with teenaged boys in… Continue reading
