I have been given the opportunity to be the Cubmaster for Pack 548. At first, I was overwhelmed and clueless. But now, I am getting into the groove of things and absolutely adoring each and every Cubscout. They all bring something so different to the table, and it is, at times chaotic, awesome! I have such wonderful leaders who are so reliable, and I just couldn't ask for anything more from this group!
I decided that going to an assisted living home would be a great service opportunity for the boys. At first, they felt awkward and shy. These boys are between 8 and 11; so being around elderly who are in wheelchairs and say "What?! I'm hard of hearing!" to things that they would say is a little intimidating. They weren't sure what to do at first. But after helping these seniors with a few games of BINGO and playing a few games themselves, they really warmed up to the seniors at the home. I was thrilled when we were on the elevator and I asked the group, "So, did you boys have fun?" and they all in unison said "Yes!".
