Eagle Scouting

[LucyKKG]

My dad was an Eagle scout, so yay! He always tells me that if I have a boy, I should consider putting him in boy scouts. Ok Daddy, I'm only 20 and not even engaged yet. Babies are a long ways away.

On another note, I started working at a summer camp that's on a nature preserve in a city (Los Altos). On the tour, I was shown a tool shed that was built by an Eagle scout. It had a little plaque on it, and I know the guy! So, thanks buddy!

I didn't really want to start a new thread on this, but this past Saturday, Scott Simon of NPR's Weekend Edition did a very moving tribute to the four Scouts killed in Iowa last week as well as to those Scouts who survived. I thought it was very, very well done and worth passing along.

Remembering the Boy Scouts

As son 3 was at camp when that happened (alum, he went from Boy Scout to Second Class), I was devastated when I heard about that. They had a memorial service at their camp as well.

You always think your child is safe at camp and then....
