ciroccojHi there! Welcome to Scouting! Your kids will have such fun! And you'll love it too!
It's such a small commitment; all you have to do is make sure your kid shows up with the right shirt, neckerchief, woggle, book, and inside shoes - except for the day it's raining and they're going to be outside when they need rain boots and a raincoat oh and don't forget crafts this week bring an old shirt instead and a white t-shirt for t-shirt painting day and leave woggles at home when we're making new ones and don't forget the mittens for mitten day and - and show up at 6:45 sharp every week at the church except for next week when it's 6:30 because there's a movie planned and 7:00 for the week after that as it's in conjunction with another scouting group but 6:45 sharp the week after (at the Farm in Mooseland Township) and 6:15 the week after (in the museum) and 7:00 SHARP the week after that and of course next week there's no Scouts unless we decide the week before that we'll have a meeting after all at 6:45 SHARP back at the church (parents stay late afterwards for a parent meeting) and see? It's so simple and easy and fun for the whole family!
And then of course there's the extra fun! This Saturday we're polishing apples and the next at 8:00AM we're doing the pancake breakfast and the next the kids are camping - a mere 90 minute drive away - and then going to Fort Henry - only two hours away - oh and did we forget selling popcorn and apples and working on your badges and sewing on your badges and packing and unpacking for camping every&^%$#ing blessed week of the year?
We did?
Our bad, sorry! But hey, we know you won't mind; it's Scouting!! Everyone loves Scouting!
ETA: This rant is brought to you by the letters F and U. And by the sudden charm of realizing that although the calendar says this week's Remembrance Day activity would take place at the regular time, regular church location, they actually meant half an hour later, downtown. Also, end time? Why would you need to know that? You're going to stay there until they're done, right? After all, parking at City Hall is only $3.50 and heaven knows you probably had nothing better to do!
ETA: Oh and pickup time for those slacker parents who don't feel like standing out here in the freezing dark for an hour is... 8:00!! SHARP!!!111!!
So, you know, if you thought you might pick up your other kid from TKD and swing by the grocery store on the way back home for the two ingredients you needed to complete today's dinner, which you had already pretty much made otherwise, and then pick up the other kid downtown - nope!! But we knew you wouldn't mind!!
*%&$#@*&#$%&#!!!11!!

I have no objection to them, and if asked, will say that it's a great program... for the kids. For parents it's like having your tongue periodically scraped by a grater :(
