They say they were winter killed but I heard reports of preppy looking dogs with nets dressed in purple. Just a rumor because those fish could probably kick some doggy butt.</p> https://scottkins.com/post/cub-scouts/ Sun, 04 Feb 2024 18:25:48 -0800 https://scottkins.com/post/cub-scouts/ <p>My Mom and Dad were Scout leaders and I followed in their footsteps.</p> <p>Sadly, due to mistakes at the national level and predatory scumbags who slipped into leadership roles, Scouting may not be around when my Grandkids get older.</p> <p>Mom was a Cub Scout den leader even after my brother and I got past that age.</p> <p>Besides the usual craft projects, she took her dens on a lot of outings. There were trips to Sunrise and Paradise in Mt. Rainier National Park and a hike into the ice caves (They still existed then.) or the glacier overlook.</p>
