Celebrate 100 Years of BSA...

With some gnomes!
Looks like they ran out of good ideas for making money off the centennial celebration. All kidding aside, I'm excited about the anniversary. There's a new handbook, BSA national is going on tour, and a good time to reflect on the past and press on into the future.

Dell Support Rant

Everytime I try to download drivers from Dell's support website, it takes forever and a day for it to load a single page. Click........................Click............................................Click............................. Now I'm to where I want to start. Then more waiting. I don't know if their servers are slow or what the problem is.

Night Frisbee

Last weekend I went camping and had a really good time. The best part was tossing the frisbee around late at night. To up the ante, the frisbee was black. It was fun trying to catch a near invisible disc flying at your head. Naturally there were the occasional collisions between scouts and plastic, but no serious harm came out of it.

Last night at Scouts we held elections for leadership positions. We also looked at some patrol patches for ideas for a new patrol name. Currently they are the Highlanders because we are the Highland ward. Here's the website we looked at. They narrowed it down to Flaming Flying Squirrels, Flaming Marshmallows, Ninjas, Purple Platypus, Duct Tape, and Spicy Tacos. Fun fun. It was good to see them excited. I'm hoping this will give them more of a reason to wear their scout uniforms.
