I really adore my son's Scouting group. I think I have actually learned more than he has. I am always excited to hear how to correctly start a fire or set a snare with a rope. (Rope can save your life. I shit you not.)So, I am not surprised to find that some of the boys events are completely overtaken by the father's need to craft things. Today was the Pinewood Derby.

Charlie is officially a Tiger Cub Scout. He is part of a small den at his elementary school. Hubby is excited because he never had the chance to be involved in Scouting. My dad was a Boy Scout as was my uncle and his son. My sister and I were Girl Scouts....more
