Overheard Discussion

[NDW5332]

I was in my local Walgreens, when I overheard one side of a very heated argument a woman was having with someone thru her ear pods:  "I know that Scouts are supposed to be helpful, but there's no way in H**** I'm letting my son sleep in a tent that someone else helped him set up!"  Not knowing the details, and not wanting a confrontation, I made my way through the check out and left.  But what could I have offered in that moment?

Not enough information, but it sounds like she's not aware of the buddy system.

Probably nothing that would have helped...  good on you for wanting to dive in and potentially set things right.  Many times, "discretion is the better part of valor."

"I did close to 20 years ago and last year my son finished his own basement. He learned a lot in scouts and we went on some great trips together."
