So I thought I should explain the whole MOM in the uniform thing. It is not everyday that you see both the boy and Dad and Mom in a Boy Scout uniform. My current calling in our ward is the advancement chairman on the scout committee. I was originally called to be the Duty to God specialist and then it just got bigger.
Karl is currently the scoutmaster for our ward troop and he is doing great! He loves working with the boys and pushing them along in their rank advancements as well as their merit badges. He enjoys watching them grow up right in front of his eyes. We have the boys over to our home every 3rd Sunday to have cookies and report their successes for the month for both Scouts and D to G. It has been working very well and we could possibly have about 12 Eagle Rank Advancements by February.
Last year Karl and I attended Wood Badge training together and I have earned my "beads" and Karl is just about to get his done. (He has to have them done by Oct.) He has just one left and it is half done, part of which was to lose 20 lbs. and he has lost 30. He is looking way good if I might say so myself! We enjoy working with each other. It seems to make my job easier to have him as the scoutmaster. When it is all said and done we will have spent at least 18 years in either Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts as parents, so we might as well jump in with both feet right? I guess so:)
