Canadian Thistles

[Eamonn]

OK even without the danger from the road.

All too often we adults see what needs to be done, but forget who is supposed to be doing it.

Little guys, who want to have fun and have very small attention spans.

One sure way of having Scouts turn their backs on future service projects is having them be overwhelmed while they are still little guys.

To be very honest I really wouldn't cherish the idea of spending very long up to my knees in thistles.

After a couple of whacks I'd be ready to move on and have an ice cream.

I think this would be a hard sell for a group of Boy Scouts, let alone Cub Scouts.

But I'm known for being a bit of an old mother hen and at times remembering what it's like to be a kid.

Ea.
