Tonight was our Joining Night for the Cub Scout pack. My Den grew from 6 kids to potentially 11. We also seemed to have picked up about 5 kids for our Tiger Den, which is what our Den started at last year.
Thankfully, this year’s group was just as befuddled about Scouting as we were last year. Good to know it wasn’t just us at the time. I tried to help them out, give them a blueprint of what they would be doing as Tigers and give them an idea about the Pack meetings and so forth. Don’t know if they felt any more comfortable with it by the end, but they’ll come up to speed.
The boy was in rare form all night from the time he got home. Running around and screaming and contorting his face. Remarkably, he did his homework without complaining. Then went right back to taggersizing his sister. Probably have to chalk it up to excitement about Scouts. He wore his shirt to school today, which earned him a reward at the meeting along with the other kids who wore their uniforms.
The lass was pretty good today, but the excitement of Scouts got to her. By the time she got home, she was screaming at anything that didn’t go her way, including not being able to buckle her seat belt and breaking a pencil multiple times. There was something about water at bedtime as well, can’t really be sure what it was about though. The only thing certain was she needed to go to bed. Badly.
Just another night with the Scouts.

Apparently, taggersizing will become a core activity until the adults are taggersized one time too many ! !
