I was going to help Jay with his missions class at church tonight, because the regular teacher wasn't going to be there. While we were waiting for the boys to arrive, one of the older classes' teachers walked by. He is going to be Webelos I dl this year, and his son is the only other church member who is part of our Pack. He told us that our Education Minister is going to set up a scout committee in the church and wants us to be part of it.

I guess this came about because I was asking our children's minister for help in passing out some brochures to the boys, remember? And apparently ever since I asked about that he has continued to think about scouts. Which is definitely a good thing. I told him that me and Jay would be glad to meet with him sometime if he wanted to discuss scouting.

Now if any of you are Baptists, or are familiar with Baptists, you will know that we have about a zillion committees within the church. So this process is going to take a while to get things moving, but I'm excited about it. It appears that the staff has finally realized that they are responsible for the scout group that they sponsor, and perhaps they need to start looking at it a little closer.

It will be a while until the committee has its first meeting, so I don't know exactly what the church is looking for. Like what they see our purpose as being. Jay and I were trying to come up with other church members who are interested in scouting who might be willing to serve on a committee. We'll see how it goes!
