I wasn't always Lincoln.

We are now well into December and the Holidays are right around the corner! To one section of the population that only means one thing! Time is running out before the Blue And Gold Banquet season is upon Cub Scout Troops everywhere!

The Boy Scouts of America was founded in February of 1910, and just celebrated the 100th anniversary of it's birth. But the Boy Scouts were actually founded a few years earlier than that, back in 1906 in England by Lord Baden Powell.

My son is in college now, but a great part of his time and energy while in elementary, middle and high school was taken up with Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. The scouting program is a great leadership training program and my son followed it all the way through the rank of Eagle. Dad was also drafted as Cub Master and Scout Master at various times, I am sure to everyone’s distress.
