These are pictures from the last activity I had with the Webelos Scouts. I took them swimming to the new recreation center here in Salem to complete their aquanaut badge. We had a blast.
In our church Cub Scouts is a calling. We are asked to volunteer in the scouting program and that is our contribution to the church at that time. Recently I was released from this calling and called to be in the Relief Society Presidency. That means that I am now in the leadership over all the women in the ward. This is a big change. I am both excited and sad. I was finally getting the hang of the scouting program and then this change came. I really do relate better to women then to hyper boys, but I was growing in my patience, compassion and love. I know that I will continue to be able to learn those things from my new calling.
I am excited because I love to work with women. I can obviously relate to them more easily because I am one. There are so many needs among the women though. It will be a bigger responsibility to help be in charge of over 100 women versus the 7 boys I was over in scouts.
If any of you have any ideas for Relief Society weekday meetings let me know. I am the counselor over these meetings and I am not always the most creative as far as those things go. What things have you done that have been successful?
