I turned down the job of Cubmaster when my oldest kid was in his second or third year of scouts. So did a guy named Scott. So the outgoing Cubmaster announced that Scott and I would be Co-Cubmasters together. And we were. I think I stayed Scoutmaster for, like seven years, covering ground for my two sons. I was never good at it, but I think the kids enjoyed their time and most of them went on to be Boy Scouts after being Cubs.
And, of course, when it was WAY past time for me to step down as Cubmaster, I had to strong-arm the situation to get someone else to take over. A couple of folks stepped in and took up the reins at the last minute. I think they probably did a better job than I did. But I bet their cub scouts never got to make a big ol’ indian drum with real rawhide drumhead that was big enough for four or five scouts to play at once, like my scouts did.
Yow.
Rule of meetings, never turn your back or you’re volunteered!
So how long has Paste been away from the time of his real mom? She might be still around? She gets to show up because Bluto bit her? Stay tuned?
(we all know that Hubris’ mom is the stepmom/trophy wife 😉 )
I thought that Hubie’s mom remarried after Hubie’s dad died. So she is Hubris’ and Paste’s mom. I’m not at all sure about that, need clarification.
I find that the storytelling opportunities are greater if I just leave everyone baffled as to how any characters in this mad fairy tale are inter-related.
yeah the guy made the biggest mistake of his life to leave at the wrong meeting even for a second. not even the good place to zone out either, you might end up saying yes and not knowing to what until to late.
and paste…dream on he is getting paid. MAYBE an insurance if he is very lucky.
There ARE thug scout troops. You have to be in the right city to find them, though. Try starting out in Montana and go from there.
My cousin Danny and I were Cub Scouts for about six months back in the early 70’s. We were pretty active until the Saturday morning we went to our den mother’s apartment to find she had moved without letting anyone know and left no instructions for a successor. None of the other scout parents raised their hands so our troop leaders pretty much had no one to lead us after that. Needless to say that was the end of our scouting days.
Mom was my Cub Scout leader till we moved to another town yhat already had an established pack.
I got coerced into being a den leader and assistant Cub Master for about 6 years. Now I am an assistant scout master for the troop my boys are in. We have a lot of fun. I think I get into more shenanigans than the boys do. The other leaders keep using this word example I am not familiar with.
money wise paste will not be happy with though the thought he can program other minds to start being like him will make his black heart happy to try it for a week. heaven help the scouts who wind up with paste as leader.
