hindsight, and wishes

i was looking through taylors scout book today.
first of all, i discovered that i'm the one that is supposed to be marking off achievements. i thought they did them all as a den.
second, i discovered that one the requirements to getting his bobcat, is to have a safety talk. there's a booklet in the front of his scout book that talks about what needs to be discussed, and how it helps satisfy a requirement. i'm wishing that i had that information 3 years ago. it would have given me some ammunition to use to get a better idea of events. maybe then, we wouldn't be waiting for a conclusion more than 2 years later.

i decided that we are going to start doing badge requirements as family home evenings.
