Calvin the Cub Scout
Oct. 17th, 2009 02:40 pmAfter two duds, Calvin and I found a good Cub pack Friday evening. Because of the rain and relocation, the campfire was morphed into folks gathered around a dozen lanterns. Nonetheless, it was a very good time. Both Calvin and I were struck with how nice and mostly organized the Cubmaster seemed to be. Every 5-10 minutes, Calvin would turn to me and say, "I like this group. What do you think?" I'd tell him we'd talk about it after the meeting and for us to be quiet and watch.
When the meeting was done, we talked over what we liked about this group. I asked him if this was the pack he wanted to join and he said, "yes." I told him, if that was the case, for him to walk over to the Cubmaster and tell him about his interest in joining. Calvin quickly walked over, stepped in front of the two adults talking to the Cubmaster and said, "I would be very interested in joining your group and being a Cub Scout." A smile burst across the Cubmaster's face and he waved off the other two adults. The Cubmaster introduced us to the Wolf den leader and we exchanged information.
Calvin was overjoyed. On the way to take him to my parents for an overnight playdate, he called my parents and JD to let them know how the meeting went and that he decided to join. Now I get to take Calvin to the Scout shop on Monday and unload half my bank account to buy a uniform and book.
