Mothering Many

Scouting has been replaced by football. Okay, just kidding. In truth, I told the girls’ leader that they would be back in November, when the season ends. Unless they go to Regionals, in which case, the season will just be starting good.

As for the boys, we have a bigger problem. The guy who said he would be the Den Master is …. not. Not answering phone calls, not returning emails, not organizing meetings, not, not, not. We have a parents meeting next week with the district director to see what we can get going. There is no way I can be the Den Master. I’ve already taken on the position of awards coordinator, and I was supposed to have a helper with that. She’s also…. not.

I have not told he boys all this, of course, but they have asked about scouts. They are looking forward to the camping, the meetings, the tiny little body shop supplies for the Pine Wood Derby cars. And frankly, so am I.
