Working Sundays limits my ability to fulfill many church callings. I have done Girls' Activity Days which didn't turn out very well. I had a hard time bonding with the girls and understanding exactly what activity to think of. I was the young women's sports coach which I actually liked, but it didn't last long. After about 9 months, they called a new Young Womens' Presidency and released everyone involved with any sort of Young Womens' calling. A few weeks ago, I was called to be a Webelos Den Leader. What the heck is a Webelos? Well, I quickly found out that it is a scout that is 10 years old.
Mike hated scouting growing up and has not been particularly supportive of this calling. I have 3 boys that will eventually be scouts so I am trying to have a positive attitude about it. I know Gage especially will be really into earning badges. My only problem is, I don't really understand how it is a church calling because I am teaching them about camping and first aide.
Well, I actually have had a fun time so far. I definitely understand boys better than girls and they can be really funny. My partner is great to work with and I only have to teach every other week.
Today, we had the Blue and Gold Banquet. It is the yearly birthday celebration for scouting. We had a cake auction to help raise money for the scouting program. The boys help me decorate a gumball machine cake which happened to sell for the most amount of money. $50! I have to say it made me feel good that my idea raised so much money.
