Well, yes, but Boy Scouts are supposed to be patrol led, not parent led. That is exactly what I want to avoid. However, a Troop has to gain its footing somewhere, I'm just concerned how much gets sacrificed to do it. That would be a benefit for sure. Still, I would like him to learn leadership from an older scout 1st, but then again I wasn't a scout either, so what do I know.

My son is bridging to boy scouts this year and we're trying to decide on a Troop. Our Pack sponsor also has a troop, but right now they are an unimpressive bunch. The kicker though is there will be a change in leadership soon. The guy taking over is an Eagle Scout on 'roids and is the father of one of my boys in my den. That is the gist of it. So, my concern is that right now the Troop is a bit of a reclamation project. I have no doubt it will turn around for the better, but in the meantime I question whether there are sufficient older boys to lead the way like there should be. In other words, the scouts that come after my son will have it much better than he will and I'm not sure I'm ready to trade off his experience, just for someone else. Selfish yes, but it his childhood and he should make the most of it. So, for those who have been through this - is this a big concern? There are 25 boys in the Troop. We could almost double it if all our boys bridged there. Any advice?

He can't hear you...

That wasn't his arm...

and we still don't beat any of the last three teams.

Anyone have a Black Ops copy you wish to sell?

I received a David Ortiz, but it was delivered by Bruce Smith... which was pretty cool.

the curse is that I drafted him. He went down in flames just like Kenny Britt, Andre Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and everyone of the other duds on my team.

Hey, here's a tip. Learn from past mistakes and stop being so belligerent about your fan-based opinions... cause, maybe you actually don't know what the future holds and something different might happen that is contrary to your opinion.

Really? Deregulation has made people stop listening to the radio? Whatever you say Mr. Cleaver.

Grow up. You have no idea what him or anyone else who seeks to over-medicate is going through.

Pssst... Hot dogs aren't even real food.

Brady may not have invented it, but he has certainly perfected the "stack".

That link was fine. He's just sharing the full album. No biggie.

It's about who you keep as well as who you get...

I think they'll destroy the Raiders exactly because of this. The Pats will roll big time.
