i started as a tiger cub and made it all the way to life but as i was getting rdy to go for eagle my troop went through a major shakeup. we lost our longtime old school troop leader and things got really chaotic and unorganized under the new leadership. after a bitthey basically just started handing out eagle badges like they were candy and the troop stopped hiking and became a basecamp frisbee troop and i was pretty devastated. the eagle badge lost meaning to me then in that context from that troop so i walked away. i was content knowing i could have but if i had accepted one of the gimme badges i would have always looked at it as stained.
nevertheless everything up til then absolutely helped shape me and my life and I’m forever grateful for the experience and the leadership we had in the beginning
Yep! Proud Eagle Scout here! Yo-Yos go so well with scouting groups! That’s awesome you are doing that @TryCatchThrow!
We are finally rolling out the YoYo Club Trick Program and have all the trick cards on hand - I know Duncan has a scouting approach but if you find any of them are more into it or want to start a shoot off yo-yo club we have the support materials now!
I will definitely take you up on that for my fledgling club, the Westchester Yoyo Club, which I am definitely not recruiting for in the Scouts (sarcasm is hard on the internet, but that was definitely sarcasm).
Nice are these similar to the cards yall sent me for dmv throwers earlier this year? They have been helpful in pushing kids at club to learn new tricks.
Follow up on the scouts. Den meeting went well! I had two parents tell me at a later activity (I also coach basketball for that age group in the town rec league) that their kids had been working on their yoyo tricks all day. Successful demo if I say so myself.
Aurus by Enjoy Circle. I fell in love with this colorway when I first saw it and @Albertino’s review sealed the deal. Great job on this one @nikit_g, the play is fantastic and all the extras just sweeten the deal.Don’t sleep on this one people!
