Rover Squire

May was a fun month. We did a lot of scouting together as a family, which makes for good times. One of the things we explored with the boys was animal sounds, and we did an animal parade at home for the  Rumble in the Jungle Adventure. We made animal masks and told jokes.  I love being a scout mom!

I was officially invested as a Rover Squire, and to celebrate, me and my two older boys went to the river parkway to pick up trash. I figured doing service would be a fitting way to start my squiring journey. I now have many opportunities for advancement and new focuses for service as I work towards more awards and my Rover Knighthood. Right now I'm on a 6 month probation before I can be knighted, which means I need to prove myself in living the Scout Law and Promise and to render service to others.

I know there's a lot of crazy stuff going on right now that can cause fear and uncertainty, but the best thing to do is to focus on your circle of influence. Help those in immediate need that you can touch, especially your family and loved ones. Don't whine if things aren't going your way; instead work harder to improve your situation.
