"You Know You're a Cub Scout Leader When..."

"You Know You're a Cub Scout Leader When..."

- You spend more time at the craft store than the sporting goods store.
- You can’t throw or give anything away because you might use it for a meeting one day.
- You pack your car with meeting supplies so full that there’s not enough room for your son.
- You meal-plan for your next campout as soon as you get home from a campout.
- You can’t wait for the next Leader’s magazine to be published.
- You enjoy wearing cotton/polyester blends.
- Your biggest wardrobe decision lately: group or gilwell kerchief.
- You always have one or two songs ready to go at all times.
- You just don’t understand why people aren’t as into Scouting as you are.
- Your morning ritual: read the newspaper and read Scouting blogs.
- Your garage and/or home office are filled with Scouting stuff.
- Not only do you know your knots, you can tie them backwards while teaching them.
- You know how many degrees a charcoal burns.
- You NEVER do Scouting things at work.
- You or someone you know owns a drill press and/or a band saw.
- You get more Scouting-related e-mail than personal e-mail or spam.
- Give you some felt, pipe cleaners, and a glue gun and you are MacGyver.- You collect scouting books.
- You need more space on your computer for clip art.
- You count cubs to go to bed at night.
- You sit and wait for your wife to say ‘thank you’ before you will give her a kitchen knife.
- You have a box of junk that the last leader gave you that you cannot throw away in case the feather, book, leather string, fishing line, 8 year old tape, and faded ribbons actually come in handy.
- At birthday parties, class volunteering, and other events where large amounts of kids are present, you have to restrain yourself from making the Scout Sign to try to get the kids to settle and listen.

Very funny stuff!
