Why I "do my own thing" at Pack Meetings



(From the Cubmaster's handbook for July's Pack Meeting"

THE CUBMASTER'S MINUTE:
ALL ABOARD THE U.S.CITIZENSHIP

Props: Cubmaster should wear a sailor hat.

Let’s take a cruise aboard the U.S. Citizenship. Be proud of your country! Keep your pledge to your flag. Be dependable and responsible. Help those less fortunate. Be cooperative. Be polite. Obey the laws. Keep America beautiful! As we return to port, I hope you will continue to sail on the U.S. Citizenship.

I went to pack night with my son and we learned about science or technology or something. The cubmasters demonstrated an invention that they had gotten from the scout handbook or something. It was a candle snuffer. Actually it was a toilet paper tube with a piece of paper covering one end and a balloon covering the other. The piece of paper had a small hole in the center of it. You hold it up to a candle or other flame source and pull on the balloon and when you let go a waft of air comes shooting out of the hole (but mostly it doesn't) and if the hole is positioned with unerring accuracy, the flame is extinguished.

"Quick, honey, it's time to put the candle out. Grab the candle snuffer."

Oh my hell, you're cub master?!?

At my house, we loathe and decline such callings.

It is sad how rarely we lunch or movie anymore...
