Help! Taking my 5-year-old to a Cub Scouts orientation/introduction tonight. Thoughts?

[Orrex]

The meeting's @ 6:30PM ET.

1. You should have gay sex and scream "There is no God" in the middle of their meeting

Doesn't matter if you're gay or an atheist, do it just to piss them off! :evilgrin:

[Orrex]

3. It's like you're inside my brain

[kentauros]

2. Good luck!

:D

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Take aspirin beforehand. It gets pretty loud and rouwdy when they play games.

:D

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. Tell him he will be on the streets if he doesn't make Webelos.

[charlie and algernon]

6. start thinking about how you'll build his pinewood derby car

I had a blast in cub scouts, have fun!

[mitchum]

8. My dad built three first place pinewood derby cars

Hey, I painted the racing stripes on them!

[charlie and algernon]

9. haha, I think I got to do a little of the sanding

7. There are alternatives to cub scouts -- Campfire (co-ed) or start your own group.

We started our own for our son and had a good 4 1/2 year run of it (basically 1st through 5th grade -- the length of his elementary school).

10. Tell them there are more snacks out there than gorp

Yeah, we signed up a couple of weeks ago and I kicked the menfolk (dad and kid) out to the first pack meeting last week. Our first den meeting is on Monday.

I kinda wish I had been at the pack meeting if only to experience this incident: The drink was purple grape juice. Five-year-old took a swig and exclaimed quite loudly, "Hey! This tastes like wine!"
:rofl: I love my village.
