    Over this last weekend, we bid farewell to our long-time Cub Scout den, as each of the boys crossed over to the Boy Scouts (now the Scouts of America).  We have led this den with these boys for over 4 years, and had a great number of activities with each.  Over the years, they have…

    Enjoying our final Cub Scout event with the annual Space Derby.  The boys all craft, carve, and sand a small wooden “rocket”, which is then propelled by a rubber-band propeller.  Lots of fun seeing all the designs, and just how fast many of them can end up going.  After this, we have a single remaining…

    Managed to survive camping with the kids over the weekend in the forests of Ohio, despite the near freezing temperatures, solid wind, and nearly constant rain.  The scouts ended up having a blast, and plenty of activities that kept us running from morning to night.  Unfortunately, everything had a solid coating of mud, so it…

    It has been many years, but my model of The Wormwood finally had another use – as the centerpiece for our Cub Scout pirate-themed Crossover ceremony.  This is a paper-craft model I built several years ago, in preparation for the Pathfinder campaign, Skull and Shackles.  Unfortunately, the campaign died off after a bit into the…

    As mentioned previously, I am the den leader for an eager group of Webelos cub scouts.  Our current project is the creation of a collection of small films as part of the film making adventure, something that I have a minimal amount of experience with.  As part of this project, due to a non-existent budget,…

    Part of my side activities includes being the Den Leader for a growing den of Webelos Cub Scouts.  Our current activity involves making a movie, to demonstrate the traits of being a scout, an activity that the boys have eagerly been working on.  The basic premise is simple, develop a script and film a short…
