Keep away from people who try to belittle
your ambitions. Small people always do
that, but the really great make you feel that
you, too, can become great. Mark Twain

Last weekend Troop 483 went to Pedernales Falls SP for some fun. We got up Saturday morning, had breakfast during a brief rain storm and then set out for a seven mile hike with some beautiful weather. After crossing the river we assended up the hills about a thousand feet and had lunch on the trail. After [...]
Scouts Withdrawals
Posted in Ramblings on February 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Hi all from chilly Atlanta, GA. This post finds me missing the troop and crew terribly while I tend to family business far from Houston. Some might consider missing a boy scout meeting to be no big deal, even two. But when it has been just a week and one day, and the number of [...]
Revenge is Dangerous

Revenge is a Dangerous thing. It is best to never seek revenge, and sometimes it takes a lot of self-control to do so, but people are always better off when they learn to forgive and to let go of vengeful thoughts and actions.

Some people on the other day.
By the early Nineteenth Century
Celebrated every year
Birthnight Ballswere [...]

A Scout Is Cheerful

It makes you cheerful that I’m continuing this series of posts. Come on, you can admit it.
