AWESOME JIM!!! Welcome to the pack!!
I have been in Cub Scouts since my first was a Tiger. Pack 777. I'm now the Weblos leader and the Tigers leader. I'm also a certified Boy Scout life guard. When I first got into Scouts they said only 1 hour a week.
That was far from the truth. I will tell you that I would not trade one minute of scouts for anything, it's an awesome feeling to see a kids face light up the first time they pull a fish out of a pond, or tie a knot all by themselves. I'm also in the process of becoming an NRA safety instructor, so we can get the boys out to the range more.
Dig in with both feet and don't look back, you woun't regret it! I borrowed a tractor trailer this 4th of July and we made a 45 foot float for both Girl and Boy Scouts to ride on. It was awesome!!
