Warning - Scouting Can Be Hazardous to Your Health



David was asked a few months back to be part of the Varsity Scout Board (or whatever they are officially called). He not only gets to do his calling, but help put on all things that do with varsity scouting. That includes the yearly triathlon, mountain man rendevous, and all of the training for new varsity leaders. He gets to go to these activities, as well as all the planning meetings. He really loves scouting and to volunteer. Several times a year they have training meetings which are Friday night and Saturday all day. They are like little boys - staying up till midnight and getting up early. At 6am this morning they were playing ultimate frisbee. He went to catch the frisbee, somebody bumped him one way, and his brother, Brien, ran into his side. Three cracks were heard. David, being the trooper he is, sucked it up and worked at his duties all day. He knows at least three ribs are broken, maybe more. That's sure a good way to get out of finishing his "honey - do" list!!

A strange coincidence - the scouts were playing an OTL sort of game a couple weeks ago and Brien ran into a table and broke some ribs. I guess two of the leaders in the group will be taking it easy for awhile.
