I can imagine her reaction!
I'm a fan of the Tax-chick brood, remember?.
How are they and what's the word on Scouting in the Tax-chick household?
I've been remiss on sending little remembrances for Scouting milestones - although we've loss touch and we haven't been in communication for, wow, a couple of years.
Anoreth is in an unknown tropical location, “just like the Tulsa Zoo rainforest exhibit.” It might be Costa Rica, but that was over a week ago, so they’re probably somewhere else now. She’s going to Gunner’s Mate A-school in the fall.
Bill (17) is planning his Eagle Scout project and should finish the Family Life merit badge, his last one, any day now. Pause to savor the irony. He’ll be applying to colleges in the fall, got a great PSAT score.
Tom (14) is a Life Scout and has only 3 badges to go, I think. He’ll probably start planning an Eagle project by the end of the year. His ideal would be to make Eagle before Bill, but the time frame is pretty tight.
Elen will be 14 next spring and hopes to start Venture. We’ve been out of Girl Scouts since Francisco was born; he’ll be 2 on the 27th. She and Sally get to come on lots of Cub Scouts activities.
Batty Pat will be a Webelos as of June 1, and he’ll go to Webelos resident camp in July. He learned to swim!
James is wrapping up Tiger Cubs. I was Tiger Cub leader this year, and I’ll be leading Wolf Cubs next year. After that (if there are no more babies ;-) I’ll either lead Bear Cubs or do Tiger Cubs again with Vlad, who is 5.
Time to serve supper here. We have religious education at 6:00 followed by Boy Scouts, so we eat early on Mondays. I hope you’re doing well. Elen wears a National Scouting Jamboree t-shirt you sent all the time, and my husband wears the windbreaker!
