Boy Scouts of America

First let me say that the only thing I've ever done with the Boy Scouts was attend an end of summer camp event.  At the time, I was dating one of the leaders.  I have no sons, so won't be attending any meetings anytime soon...HOWEVER...

I love the Boy Scouts.  The children and adults I've known that attend or attended Scouts have impressed me.  I found when the school year started, the scouts encouraged boys, as well as rounding out a child's education, and giving supplements to education where school leaves off.
 

I also found that the Boy Scout way is one of health.  The Boy Scouts offer activites that encourge children to enjoy the outdoors and to exercise.

The Boy Scouts are no longer just about knot tying and camping either.  They have a new curriculum with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math.  They call it STEM.

Scouting is a huge part of the life of a scout...but not moreso than family.  Scouting supports activites that get the whole family involved.  Parents are encouraged to participate beginning as early as cub scouts.

I'm not sure I can say enough good about the Boy Scouts of America.  a worthwhile organization!

Final day of August

Anyone else find it hard to believe that September is upon us? September is a relatively busy month for us...personally as well as extracurricularly. SCA functions tend to pick up about now...it's just plain too hot before now...actually, now it's too hot too...but we do it anyway...oh for the love of our medieval stuff. :) So it's started...This past weekend was the first of many through December. I had a lovely time...despite the heat! MM won the archery tourney. I got a sprained ankle. ha!

So, coming up would be...in this order:
AJ's slumber party
Aj's birthday
My birthday
Kingdom Live Weapons
Kingdom A&s
Celebration Reunion
Coronation
Miss V's birthday

that's as far as my mind can remember. ugh. busy busy busy. i have no time to celebrate my birthday...guess i won't get older this year. can i do that?
