Anyone want to help with Boy Scouts?

Hey everybody! I work with a bunch of cool kids, and two of them are involved in Boy Scouts. I am going to be out of town next Monday (Oct. 20th) and am looking for someone to pick them up at 6:30pm and take them to their meeting and then back home again. Also on Oct. 25th is an all-day Field Day event (but I don't expect anyone to stay for all of it unless you want to) where parents and kids get to do all sorts of interesting/some-what dangerous things like learn to shoot arrows and B.B. guns and stuff like that. Please let me know if anyone is interested! It would be best if it is a guy, but also could be a girl. They are stuck with me right now, so anything is better than that! ;-)

It's not a real good area of town, but I have never had any problems out there. I am leaving town on Thursday afternoon, but if you can do it I will try to show you where they live and introduce you to the kids before then. Just let me know! :-); ▶ Reply to This

I hope you have fun helping your dad. I will probably need more help in the future though, so if it's ok with you I will let you know when I do!; ▶ Reply to This

Would you be more interested in taking them to some of the meetings, or doing the events? Either is helpful, so just let me know what you want to do and I will keep you updated!; ▶ Reply to This

Although I was never in Boy Scouts (did 4-H for 10 years) I am pretty familiar with all things outdoors and somewhat dangerous. As for the 25th if you could give me some more info I might be able to help out with that since I will still be on leave.; ▶ Reply to This

The event is not mandatory, but it starts at 8am and goes till evening, but I don't think it is the type of thing they have to be at the whole time. If you are interested, that would be great, and I am sure the kids would love to hang out with you, but don't pressure yourself to make this one if you don't want to. Just let me know by Friday if possible.

Kels told me about rock climbing this past weekend. It sounded great! Yeah, you definately are qualified for all things outdoors/somewhat dangerous! Way to go for representing 4-H! I did some classes with them, but not that much.

Take care!; ▶ Reply to This
