griffsmom Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hey everyone, I'm the mother of a 14-almost-15-year-old son who will be sitting for his Life rank SMC and BOR in the next couple weeks. He has been in scouting since he was six years old and saw a presentation that showed cub scouts throwing hatchets. That's all my boy needed to be all in. :-) My son doesn't do organized sports, so scouting is his thing. My husband and I are both ASMs with our son's troop; I also wear the New Scout Parent Coordinator and District Roundtable hats and am a MB counselor, while my husband is a Life to Eagle advisor. Oh, and because I apparently thought my life had too much spare time in it, I also went through Wood Badge (W4-39-14-1) and just completed my ticket a week ago. Whoo-hoo! Anyway, I'm enjoying reading all the information and differing perspectives on the boards and just wanted to introduce myself and say hey! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Welcome, sounds like you got bit by the scouting bug pretty badly. Don't worry, it's not fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffsmom Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks for the welcome! @Stosh: yeah, I guess I did jump into scouting with both feet. Unfortunately, I was working crazy hours when my son went through cub scouts and so I missed most of it. I promised him I wouldn't be a parent in absentia as he continued on through boy scouts.
