Progressive Scout Dinner

Tonight for scouts, we were working on our Traveler badge. For this one, we’re supposed to plan a trip, figure the miles, and how much it costs with gas, and then, if we can, take this trip. So for this one, we decided to plan a trip to a few fast food places, and get a small treat at each place. We started at McDonalds, and shared a few cheeseburgers. We made our way over to Wendy’s, and took advantage of the awesome drink machine there. We then went to In&Out for the fries (one of the kids, his favorite fries are there. I’m convinced he’s never had other fries, because the fries there are awful. We finished up at Iceberg, sharing a couple of shakes.

It was a lot of fun, going from place to place, and talking about traveling, and eating small treats. It’s a good idea to do with the kids, they seem to listen better when food is involved. It’s really hard to come up with fun activities to do every week, especially with the really boring badges come along. I don’t understand why some of these are even badges you have to earn, or what the point of it is. But I think that’s why I’m only an assistant leader, and not in charge of things.
