I used to be a fox and a good old fox too, but
now I am finished foxing I don't know what to do I am growing
old and feeble and I can fox no more, so I am going to work my
Ticket if I can. Back to Gilwell Happy Land I am going to
work my ticket if I can.
If you know
"THE SONG" then you know how I got started on this. Wood Badge. That sums it up.
It is brief because I realized early on that there was just way
too much information existing on scouting for me to be anything
but brief. As one of our Colonial Virginia Council's great scouters, Herb Sullivan, told us at a training session,
"They're writing it faster than you can read it." I chose
history of scouting as a topic because of something a Bodacious
Bobwhite, a.k.a. Art Batten our Scoutmaster of SR502, said at a campfire one night about
how many scouts didn't know the history of our great
organization.
