YHC is an admitted podcast addict. Sometimes the family gets a little tired of listening to ANOTHER podcast in the car. So I ran across a series of four podcasts done last year, hosted by Hollywood and featuring OBT and Dredd. They talked a lot about how F3 got it’s start and the 3 Fs. In one of the conversations Hollywood mentioned doing the Cooper, and of course I looked it up on the Exicon.

YHC was serving as Senior Patrol Leader today. As with F3, Scouts is a volunteer organization. Specifically, Boy Scouts is led by youth, giving them their first taste at organization, service, leadership, and sometimes humility. Today was a lesson in all four for YHC. It felt like herding cats to get the group to start moving, not unlike any Scouting activity. Trouble was finding four volunteers to serve as Patrol Leaders.
