I've been here - just never officially checked in

[Chicken Ranch]

Hi all. Been in scouting for years - Girl scout as a youth member for 8 years, then joined as Girl scout asst. leader when daughter joined in 1st grade. Became Girl scout leader trainer for outdoor & camping skills before daughter dropped out.

Joined Boy scouts with my son in 1992 - been in ever since & love the programs. Have been a tiger partner, Wolf & Bear asst den leader, Bear & Webelos den leader, acting cubmaster (in the 18-month absence of appointed person), advancement & committee chair in the pack, C.O.R. for troop & pack, unit commissioner for troop & pack, and then joined Boy scout troop in late 1997 as asst scoutmaster (acting scoutmaster at summer camp), and committee member.

Camping: For girls, taught campfire cooking & other outdoor skills & was a day camp leader. For boys, was a day camp archery & bb instructor, and taught archery and first aid at summer camp & helped on the rifle range - haven't missed a summer camp activity in over 20 years. Worked as a manager (sole employee) of a council scout shop & trading post outlet for 15 months. Now am in role of advancements chair for my son's troop & LOVE what I do. Son made Eagle last August.

Oh yah - my nickname? We keep a few chickens at the farm - about a hundred or so laying hens. Also 50 or so roosters in a separate bachelor pen that I'd like to either find homes for or do in.
