Post 800 - What this blog is all about

Today, resisting my tendency to hyphenate that first word, is a special day in the history of this blog because it is the day we mark its eight hundreth post in just over five years of existance.

Its history goes back to my earliest days on Tumblr with people sadly no longer on there and battles fought and lost over accounts before totally breaking free some two and a quarter years ago.

It's really about three things that intersect with each other, one being scouting in all is forms in the past, often as I and no doubt others recall it.

That was a start point to the original tumblr form of which, thank heavens, posts were stored here for safe keeping and often expanded upon, looking at old programs, units, publications and yes, the uniforms!

Then there's scouting related activity by me, exploring places, meeting people very much in the spirit of a cub, learning and learning about new things as very much a "forever boy" informed by the past, going forward with the modern world.

And finally, as news presenters are want to say, it's about modern scouting, the sections of modern scouts, the activities and events they run today, the things I help raise funds for to aid modern day scouts in the official movement and discussion of some the issues that pertain to it.

It's all here because SCOUTS MATTER.

It's here because IT'S THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE

It's here because IT'S YOU

It's here because LIFE'S AN ADVENTURE and YOU CAN JOIN IT
