Finding joy in service

I've taken the Cub Scouts on a lot of service projects. A lot of folks are happy to see us come; almost everyone is happy to see us go.

Ready for a break

Sometimes these strips were inspired by real life experiences.

Monday sketchbook: A Scout is Logical...

One of my sons is working on his Eagle project, so naturally the dinnertime conversation got around to whether Vulcans have a scouting program, which led to this.

I think - in general - the people of Earth owe a big apology to the people of Vulcan.

BTW, he's collecting supplies for Hogar Infantil, an orphanage in southern Mexico. Your donations would be greatly appreciated!

It's a gift to be simple

This is an old one I did way back in high school, I believe it was after a seminary lesson about the gift of tongues. I showed it to one of my friends, who asked me, "What does that mean?" I was a little taken aback because she been in the same classroom and had the same lesson with me. So I said, "Remember the lesson we just had about the gift of tongues?" She replied, "Oh! That's it! You totally misspelled the word 'tongue'!"

It's only taken me a couple of decades or so, but I've corrected that now.

Would you like frites with that?

One more thing from the French trip. It was a great adventure, but if there was one complaint, is was that they fed us "American" food. Granted, the tour company doesn't want to spend a lot of money on meals. And the tours are designed for mostly middle school and high school-aged kids. But still... Good thing they sold crepes and baguettes on the streets!

My what?

How many kids today do you think know what "horizontal hold" is?

Another lesson learned
