We had our biannual Troop elections last night. Michael Shepherd is once again SPL (5 consecutive terms now). The big news was the Flying Eagles and the Sharks, have combined forces to be the Badgers and the Headache Patrol are now Beavers. Oh, the politics of it all!The game was supposed to be indoor volleyball, but since yesterday was such a nice day and with the time change over the weekend, it was unanimous that they wanted to go outside and play British Bulldog. It is #1 with Troop 12.
They got 3 rounds in, with only 2 lost buttons and 2 scraped elbows. Everyone was sweating like a hog. It is one of the few games that offers physical fitness, team work, individual stealth, and minor first aid.
It is a hoot to watch. I asked Sam Cochran, our Chartered Organizational Rep. / Troop Chaplain, why they liked British Bulldog so much?
He said, "It is everything that young men like".
He's right!
