Scoutmaster Minute: Mother nature delivered an extra week of winter break…hope you all used the time wisely. The Troop did benefit but having a Mini-Klondike race to test out the sleds which generall were in pretty good shape…functional is perhaps better charactizization. Clear need a little more practice on driving and dragging the sleds…but the 2 man Eagle patrol beat all the others so perhaps more is not always better.
In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.– Abraham Lincoln
