how should they act...

blame sesame street... i think kids should be kids and not act like adults. Life is to hard to not have fun when your young.

Yes i do think that things are age appropriate and while we should expect more from those older, there is no reason to allow them to grow and learn through play.

So what erks me is when we discuss "how should a room of cub/boy scouts act.." I seem to be the only one who says "like boys"... Yes we should have established discipline and order, accompolishing the task of helping them get promoted to the next rank. but who ever goes in there and expects military discipline or it to be like a board room meeting.. PFHHHHhh come one people.

Do i think I will be walked all over? no, but i do think i can make things fun and run smoothy while still getting respect.

Tomorrow we get our uniforms that we will be required to wear to all scout functions, and the part of me that was in the army is excited. The nonconformist is not. But oh well. The sense of pride i have for this employment I just got could be from the cohesion i see around me at the scout center. pride is infectious.

They tell us that once you start helping the kids it gets in your blood, then your coffee mug and stickers on your car. shouldn't everything that is worth doing be like that? next monday i start my first program with the kids. . . how do i think they act? like boys.
