Hi,
Scoutmaster Vann & I were “BLUE-SKYING” about the Covid-19 situation that we all are in. I asked his permission to address the Troop. So here goes:
1- How can the Troop Leadership support you and your family during this situation?
2- What would you like from the Troop Leadership? Please be sincere, thoughtful & honest with your reply. Just send it to me & I will collect them.
A- What musical instrument do you find in the bathroom?
B- A TUBA toothpaste!
Personal suggestions:
3- Make a daily plan. Spend some time alone. (without phone, TV, Radio, Video games…)
4- Give everyone some slack, be thoughtful before sounding off. We all are under some stress because of the situation. There will be no “normal” for a while…
5- Part of your plan is to help around the house – yeah chores. Please do something extra. (treat your family to a dish at dinner, or cook the whole meal and cleanup.)
6- Get ahead on school work.
7- Tackle something new: A new language, skill, musical instrument, recipe.
C- What kind of lights did Noah have on the Ark?
D- Flood Lights!
Scouting Suggestions:
8- Family Life MB and Personal Fitness MB both take 90 days:
9- Look up a Scout Skill that you are weak on & spend 15 mins. a day on that skill until you have mastered it. Then pick a new skill to work on…….. example: tying knots.
E- Where do pencils go on vacation?
F- Pencilvania!
10- I am an Amateur Radio Operator. We are mostly called HAMS or Ham Radio Operator. Here is a link to Ham Radio. ARRL is the national association of Amateur Radio in the US. Here is their link.
11- I will send out some study suggestions for the FCC / Ham License. Starting tomorrow. Let me know how you are doing.
Stay in Touch.
Gaither
G- Do you know how a Grizzly Bear fights?
H- With their Bear Hands!
