Ice Cream a la Beavercreek Cub Scout's

I never, ever thought I wanted to be a Cub Scout Den leader. That was one thing I would avoid. Right . . . with 3 sons that wouldn't pass me by. To my utter amazement I loved scouting, "my boys" and the den activites. I still have my "official" yellow blouse and am proud of it! I hope you find this worthwhile to do with your darling families or a den of boys. Chime in sons with your memories but let's not tell the blog world about our fried eggs on the #10 cans with our homemade buddie burners.
