University of Scouting

I went through basic training this past Saturday at the University of Scouting in Jacksonville. I rode up with the Bear Den Leaders and the Cubmaster. What a time we had! We did kind of act like school girls in the Den Leader's class but we learned a lot! I especially enjoyed the Scouting Science class. This was taught by a molecular biologist so we got scientific theories on why each experiment works and why slime forms when you add the needed ingredients. I like Science so this class was awesome. The only downfall of the class was the few people who thought it was necessary to make sexual remarks whenever they saw an opportunity. Unfortunately, I was sitting next to one of them. The teacher took this fairly well and just laughed it off and continued the lesson. I learned a lot though; and feel more confident about my Den Meeting preparations. I also earned a certificate from the University of Scouting and my "Trained" badge. I also learned about the preparedness award available for my wolf scouts and I've decided to put that into our curriculum. To think, the "Leaders" in our pack said we've been doing a good job so far. NOW, I have training! Imagine how well we will do now?!?
