So we're thinking of having the boys join cub scouts

Will the boys volleyball league shutting down this year we've been trying to find something both boys can do together. We haven't found much then we noticed a sign for Cub Scouts. I think this could be fun for them both. Plus the meeting are on Mondays at the school with would be perfect.

So we're going to talk to them tonight and see if they want to join. This could be fun

My oldest brother was an eagle scout.
I did it for a few years becase my dad was a scout leader. Went to where they filmed Frifay the 13th. I did not want to continue onto boy scouts like my brothers did. But learned a few things about always be prepared.
Did 2 adult campouts I did well.
Best thing they can learn, emergency preparedness. First aid. Plan ahead.

@Confined yeah I'm just looking for something they can both do together, since they volleyball league ended. I I think this will be challenging enough for our youngest boy but easy enough that our oldest boy can take part in almost everything

I was a den mother when my son was 7 years old! It was SO much fun! I took them for a little hike a short way into the woods, on a "nature" scavenger hunt...and we made our own bows and arrows out of dowels wrapped with string in the middle. I let the boys shoot at a paper bag out in a meadow behind my house.

We worked toward badges, and it was just a LOT of fun.

@4meAndyou yeah this sounds like something they will both enjoy and can do together.

That would be nice for them I think. I was in Cubs, but never transitioned to Boy Scouts. Now it's referred to as Scouts BSA, to make it more inclusive for the girls. Oh Trump must be throwing a conniption over that... 🙄

Y'all I really don't want political talk on my post. I never talk about it because it causes fighting and I don't care for the drama

@Cigarguy Sorry, force of habit. I'll delete.

Cigarguy · M

@SunshineGirl thanks 😊

They should have a good time. It’s a lot of parent help early on but more independence as they get older.

Cigarguy · M

@BillyMack my partner is really excited about helping out. I would love to but I don't think they would want me there working with the kids

Thevy29 · 41-45, M

If your free too. Cub Scouts always need an extra adult helper.

Cigarguy · M

@Thevy29 I would love too but I don't think they'd want me as a volunteer but I think my partner would really enjoy that.

I think that would be great

Cigarguy · M

@Shybutwilling2bfriends yeah I think they will both enjoy it

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F

A well run cub or scout troop is great fun ☺

Cigarguy · M

@SunshineGirl yeah I want to find something for them to replace volleyball and this seems like a good fit

ALL tiger cubs are seven years old! So is Tiny Tornado!

Cigarguy · M

@4meAndyou cub scouts in are area is k-5.

4meAndyou · F

@Cigarguy It is likely that all the applicants will be grouped by age, so that all of them have a group of similar age kids with whom to interact.

Dens might be small. I only had 4 boys in my den.

Cigarguy · M

@4meAndyou yeah I am a little worried they won't be in the same group. I guess it wouldn't be horrible if they weren't
