It's a joy to watch Max participate in new experiences. It is a big and wonderful world. The scout motto is KISS that stands for Keep It Simple and I add and Silly.

But I do remember scout meeting lengthiness. Good grief-- meetings, ceremonies, whatever, lasted FOREVER.

Wolves and Bears are the goofiest and even have books on how to be that way. Do you remember what a "big round of applause" is? Once they get into Webelos, it's still goofy but they learn to transition into more boy scout type stuff. I probably would've used the tootpicks to make a #9, not spell it out. The pack concept is loosley based on the Mowgli series. Reminding him of the beginning of jungle book might have helped. It's too bad they didn't let the non scouts participate. Usually when there is a pack meeting and families are invited, everyone gets to participate. Just keep us informed when the cake auctions, pinewood derby, regattas, etc. are.

Be prepared to witness goofy-gooberness at its best. I was the leader for the wolves. And I came home begging Nolan to not act like the boys in my group. Without sounding doom and gloom, I will say this....your boys will love scouting like no other. And you will sit back and wonder how the heck those boys absorb any sort of knowledge what with their constant dorking around and tearing thru the church building. For the life of me I could not get them to settle down. Again, your boys will love it-and I guess that's all that matters. Lucky for us, the Eagle projects seem way easier these days. And you couldn't have a better father/mother in law in this area. I vividly remember BOTH of them in full on scouting regalia.
