Well, we had a great weekend! We had a District Winter Blast for Discovery Rangers and older. Basketball and Video game racing tournements on Friday nights and Pinewood Derby on Saturday. There were approximately 150 boys and commanders, some of whom drove for 2 or 3 hours or more for a Friday night and Saturday morning. Quite a turnout, especially since District Staff were hoping to get enough registrants so they would not have to cancel. It was my first major event as Sr. Commander of our outpost, and, thankfully, everything went well.
We went with our entire group of seven boys, one Adventure Ranger age, six Discovery Rangers. Only two of them come to our church regularly for anything other than Rangers, my son and our Rainbows sponsor's son. The rest only come for Rangers. Friday night's devotion at Winter Blast, three of our boys went forward, two for the first time, and one for a re-dedication. PRAISE GOD!! Two or three others went forward at the second altar call for prayer for "other" issues. Don't know the exact count, I was busy with the other three. Also of interest was the FCF table. Our FCF District Pres. was selling beads and necklace making materials and had knives for sale. Also gave prizes (candy) from the treasure box for naming animal pelts and bringing trash they found outside. As a result of Saturday's devotion by FCF President and said table, we now have several boys interested in FCF. And I thought I already had my work cut out for me! LOL, Now I have even more, getting boys ready for the Trail of the Grizzly. Just wanted to update and inform. Also, the list has been nearly as quiet as a tomb lately, so I wanted to liven it up just a little.
