Banquet is just a week away.

The lodge banquet is just a week away now. My Vice-Chief has been doing a great job. In some ways, I think advising an officer is a lot easier than advising a chairman. If the Scout has gotten far enough in the OA that he is an officer, a lot of the skills are already present. So the adviser has to take on less of a teacher role and more of a just being there in case something goes wrong role.

I'm happy to say that my role in the lodge web site is diminishing. I was really happy to help get that committee up off the ground. But I'm even more happy to see it being self-sufficient.

I'm also taking up other roles in scouting now. In addition to my membership on the Council Marketing Committee, I'm now a member of the Council Camping Committee as well. My present job is to analyze the past performance of the camp trading post and make suggestions for the present year. The committee seems to be eager to make some big changes in the trading post in order to improve revenue and help keep camping fees down.

In other news, we took Natalie to see the new Pooh's Heffalump Movie tonight along with Evalina and her mom and dad. They had a good time. Afterwards, we stopped at Dave and Busters for a bite to eat and to play some games. I think that was probably a bit too much for Natalie.
