Colorado Cub Scout Is Left Without a Den Because of Crazy Mother

To some young boys, Cub Scouts is a great extracurricular activity. We enrolled our then seven-year-old son in Cub Scouts because he expressed an interest in camping and archery.

Our son has since moved on to track, free-running (think American Ninja Warrior stuff), an interest in Japanese Kendo and being a break dancing machine but the friendships and brotherhood boys build in scouting are critical to the character development of young men. I especially enjoyed seeing him gain confidence by cooking a meal, using a pocket knife or building a fire on his own. To some boys, their den is everything. We were fortunate enough to have a den leader who was so passionate about scouting that it was infectious. His attitude made Cub Scouts fun for these boys. They were as dorky as they wanted to be but he was also firm in what he expected of them. If it weren’t for “Cub Master Rob”, I do not think our son would have continued Cub Scouting beyond the first year.

I smile when I look back on our son’s Cub Scouts experience and he laughs, too. So, I cannot even imagine how heartbroken this poor boy was when he was exiled from his den. Safe to say, this kid’s mother put him up to it. Take a look:
