Cub Scouts Pack 84
Last year our oldest joined cub scouts and had such a great experience! Pack 84 — the pack that meets at Stevenson — is just fantastic. There is usually one pack and one den meeting per month, plus a couple fun events (hike, science project, etc) each month. If you are interested in learning more, check out their website!

September: Directions to Myself: A Memoir of Four Years by Heidi Julavits I highly recommend this book, especially if you are raising boys — it made me look deeply at our culture and masculinity.
