It's All About The Threads

The guys did the Aquaville program today. There were all sorts of games and things to learn. Games like 2 soccer balls tied together and you try and kick them to make a goal. They call it Skeeterball. Some of guys tried hurling. The USA did a great job with cow roping, gold panning, and leather branding.

Douglas Wagoner and I slipped off and traded a few threads. The best trade I got was from some old Scouter from Taiwan. I traded a neckerchief slide for some nasal medicine, he called "yellow water". It is righteous!
It is so much fun to talk to other Scouters and learn about how they do Scouting. I've learned a lot and yes guys, "swapped a few badges" as they say over here.
