What a year it's been. Over the last 15 months or so, I've reconnected to Scouting in a big way.
It had been about 8 years since I've been involved in Scouting in any meaningful way. The 100th Anniversary of Scouting in the United States, along with my troop's (Troop 16, Scranton, PA) 95th anniversary, got me back into the program. Since then I've become Pack Trainer for Pack 16, sitting on our district Cub Scout training committee, and am webmaster for both my pack (www.pack16scranton.org) and our local council websites (www.nepabsa.org).
To Keep Myself Physically Strong

When I restarted the website, I thought about how I wanted to organize it. In addition to Scouting, I also wanted to talk about books and movies, technology, and fitness. Not that I'm a health nut, but I am working toward getting generally healthier and I wanted a place to talk about it on occasion. Every so often, these categories overlap. This is such a time.
Part of my reason to get back in shape (if I was ever in shape to get back to) was one line in the Scout Oath, "To keep myself Physically Strong." Since getting back into Scouting just over a year ago, the line "Scouting Rounds a Guy Out" has been floating through my head. Of course Scouting develops well rounded young men, but it seems as we get older Scouting, and the great camp cooks it develops, tends to round us out physically.

Looking over the site today I realized I had not blogged in the Scouting section yet. I guess it's time to do that.
There really hasn't been a lot Scouting going on lately. That's not entirely true, there's always something Scouting going on. It's just lately it's been the normal Scouting stuff: Pack meetings, committee meetings, etc. So this will just be a general look at my little part in Scouting.
