first scout meeting

well technically 2nd, but it was the first one i was actually prepared for. the actual first meeting we just introduced ourselves and me and the kids threw frisbee around. 

jess helped me prepare for the meeting, so much info to go through. i was nervous and stressed about getting it right but i think it went pretty good. 

just Gus and two other kids (little boy and girl) so it was a manageable group. hard to keep kids listening for an hour, but we went over the scout law and oath and played games and actually checked a few boxes. just dads there tonight which was nice. felt less pressure than when the moms were there, not sure why. 

i feel like i was so busy trying to stay on top of things that i kind of missed how neat it was having Gus learn the oath and law etc. when we got home i got him to read it to Jess and Isobel and almost got choked up listening to his little voice say those words i’ve said a million times over the years. two meetings in and i was already feeling proud of my son. 

we’ll see how it goes from here. being the den leader is not exactly the road i expected to be on right now, but i can do it; i’ll get the hang of it.
