Hello to everyone!

[Tomahawk_Bob]

Like many of you here, I'm sure, I went to register my son for Tiger Scouts, and was given the pep talk about how much fun it would be to become a Den Leader. I was hesitant at first, since I can easily recall the two years I spent as a Boy Scout, which more or less consisted of a weekly meeting every Tuesday night in a church basement, and little else. I am determined to make sure the boys in my den have a much more enjoyable experience than I did, and am already trying to figure out how I can get them accelerated to Eagle Scout within two years (LOL).

Like some of the others here, I also have a few disabled children in my Den, and am glad to see there have been a few helpful hints posted, especially as it relates to autism and learning disabilities, since I have every intention to make sure they are included in every activity we do.

I look forward to learning as much as possible about my new responsibility, and would welcome all helpful suggestions.

Welcome.

 

Relax and have fun. Before you know it, you will wake up and your son will be a man. Enjoy this time in your and his life.

Welcome to our roundtable. Enjoy the time with the kids. Being a den leader can be a great experience, but watch out, some day you may end up as an ASM.
