I know I pop in here occasionally to discuss my troop and what's up. We are in rutherford county at Camp Bud Schiele. Whats to report? Other than 4 brand new scouts are homesick and crying each night, 3 older boys are hourly planning how to get even with a younger smart alec scout by antiquing him (using baby powder to powder his face and tickling him with a feather so he smears it everywhere ) at 4 AM in the morning, and it is in the mid 90s, life it great.

Did I mention the three racoons which visited one of my younger scouts last night? He said he thought about trying to leap out of the sleeping bag and make a dash for the door but thought that letting them eat his loaf of bread was a better deal. He said they really wanted his M&Ms but he has put them in his backpack and they didn't try and tunnel through the bag.

I am in the middle of escorting my older scouts to their merit badge classes who suddenly have seemed to lose their way and ended up on the opposite end of the camp instead of where they were supposed to be. Just a small mis-step they remind me.

I wonder what would happen if we lost a few of them while they were canoeing on the waterfront.......

Just kidding....................

My former boss, Bob Johnson, no the not the former owner of the Bobcats, was big into scouting.

He always said when he was taking a goup of scouts camping, "I'm off to chase a bunch of boys thru the woods!" :rolleyes:

Have fun chasing boys! :D

My biggest job is really at night making sure that the older boys aren't sneaking out at 1 AM to terrorize the younger boys acting like Chop Chop Charlie ( a ghost story they told earlier in the night). Makes for less sleep than I would like. Specially getting up for the 5 mile hike this morning at 6AM. Went to help with all the new scouts I brought.

Truth is that it isn't chasing boys through the woods, more like herding cats.

Halfway through. No one went home yet. Can't complain.

      An Explication of the Offense

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Good write up OP..... I may be the outlier here but I like our WR sans XL. Metchie is sneaky good and just like Dowdle last year he WILL BE the biggest under the radar singing of this year FA moves. I am warming up to the idea of Sadiq at 19 over defense. I'm just ready for every BY excuse to be gone, he doesn't have this or that. No he just sucks and we need to move on. Honestly I've said it before but this team has been depleted of so much talent over the years we really could go BPA and be fine. In DM I trust..........for now

      He's not Cam brother. Disrespectful to Cam at this point to keep mentioning them together. That's just my opinion. We all agree we need the young guys to step up. They have to varying degrees. But they're still learning. Especially the rookies. Guys like Miller and Moose need to take another step and we hope they will get there. Both need to add some bulk in the offseason. Kalk too. We can give them a little grace though. We extended the same courtesy to LaMelo in his earlier years. Many excuses were afforded to him. I agree completely that we need to see both offensive evolution and development under Lee. I feel like the team in some aspects has taken a step back at times under his watch. That can't continue. I hope it all comes together. We'll see. But that clock is ticking and there should be NO excuses after this upcoming season. No more embarrassment please.
