I’m just like this mom. I am a Girl Scout, I married a Boy Scout. We both come from Scouting parents. When we had children it was a given that they would be Scouts. We were blessed with two boys before our girl and I wanted to be an active part of all their development. I became a Parent helper, Den leader, Committee member for both Pack and Troop, and took on many different responsibilities at different times when it worked for my family. During that time I bonded and grew not just with my boys, my husband, but with the other families and the men that I now call my brothers. We have been through great times, good times, not so awesome times but we are always scout family. We have taught each other, learned from each other, built up each other. Never once have they made me feel unwanted, unneeded, unaccepted. I have been on some very interesting trips, sat in on some crazy meetings, met honorable and distinguished people, had moments that only few get and have watched numerous children grow from little boys to strong men. Scouting with the boys has taught me to step outside my comfort zone (white water rafting), be open to new adventures (driving ice cream cross-country), more acceptable to things the way they are (camping in mud up to my ankles over a sewer line for six days). These things are moments and memories that will forever be a part of my story. There may never be a formal invite on a piece a of paper, or a direct ask from a leader but the leadership of both Pack and Troop 334 always welcome anyone, with any experience level, with any interest level, with any want to be a part of building TRUSTWORTHY, LOYAL, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY, COURTEOUS, KIND, OBEDIENT, CHEERFUL, THRIFTY, BRAVE, CLEAN, REVERENT citizens. COME ON, LET’S SCOUT YOU IN!
