Anyone who knows me really well is going to laugh their heads off, because yesterday I got my new calling in our new ward! I am the new Bear Den Leader.
Me plus dirt and bugs equals EWWW.
So far I like all the people I'll be working with, though--and this isn't totally new; Kelly and I were Bear Leaders when Shane was a bear. Can I just say that when they sustained me yesterday, though, my whole family thought it was hysterical.
I knew I was in for it when the counselor calling me said, "You know, some callings are harder to fill than others." He also alluded to needing someone with the time and organizational skills to pull it off. I can make the time, but obviously they haven't gotten to know me well enough to know that organizational skills are NOT my strong point! Creative, yes. Organized, NONONONONO!!
Still trying to decide how I feel about getting the pretty yellow leader shirt, and how excited I should get about earning boondoggle beads at Roundtable.

That's my calling too! I was so scared tto do it, but I'm really loving it. I've been in for 2 years now, and wondering if my time is up soon. I know I'll be sad when it is. FYI... you can wear a khaki scout shirt too (with blue epilets for cubs). Those yellow ones don't fit really good, IMO. I feel way more comfy in my khaki one. Have fun with it!! YOu'll do great!
Guess what? They are leaving the yellow shirts behind and bringing the tan ones, but not me. Not after four years. I’m a rebel! I wear a yellow cotton comfortable pull over top with the blue fleece Cub scout vest. They are way comfortable! They sell them in big sizes, which I need. I bought the yellow top from Shopko’s plus section and I call it good. I actually wear it the whole day that I do scouts because it is comfortable and makes me happy!
Hmmm, both of those options sound like a good idea! So far I don't think any of the Cub leaders beside the Cub Master and Assistant even wear a uniform. Part of me says ditch the uniform, but another part says set a good example for the boys.
I'm glad to know I don't have to wear the traditional yellow shirt. I've never loved it!! I like the idea of the fleece vest or the khaki, though.
