Last weekend I did my second adventure race. After the first one last fall, I spent the winter thinking about the fun that I had and how I could do better next time. While Spring came slowly to Wisconsin this year, we had a beautiful first weekend of May and a perfect chance to try out the Chasin’ the Bone Adventure Race from Elkbones Adventure Racing.
Three Things I learned from Baloo
I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been impressed with Cub Scouts as I go through it again thirty years later with my own sons. In addition to programming for kids, scouting provides training opportunities for their adult leaders. Scouting is driven by adult volunteers. In contrast to Boy Scouts where the scouts themselves take on the planning, programming, and execution with supervision of the adults, in Cub Scouts, the adult leaders take on these roles to create experiences for these younger kids.
