Whew……what a week. Mom was busy most of the week with “STUFF”, and was busy whining about my medication and how nobody seems to be able to guess my Teasers any more and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Well today is Friday and I won’t be complaining today – what do you think about that?
Mom and Dad will be cleaning the house but that’s fine – no biggie. I’ll be hanging out in the basement anyway………….I need rest anyway because next week on the 12th, we have the FIRST Cat Scouts Jamboree EVER. That’s right – EVER. We’ve had other stuff like Quests with competitions between Patrols but a Jamboree? Nope – this is our first. We know a FEW of the things we have to be prepared for but not everything. AND the Jamboree goes until Sunday the 16th when we’ll hike back home from wherever it is that we’re going (we don’t even know THAT part yet!). OF course all of this is “virtual” and will be happening on the Cat Scouts site BUT we have to be purrrrrrrrpared (like good Scouts are) for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Mom and I are both nervous wrecks. I hope I do alright – you know I’m a TROOP Leader so I don’t want to embarrass myself now do I in front of all my Troop buddies????????
I’m a Lion Scout now AND Troop Leader of Wildcats Troop too!
After the Jamboree is over, it’s just a few days before TURKEY DAY here………………..Thanksgiving means turkey which means leftovers which means I get to have some! Mom and Dad aren’t always home for Thanksgiving – last year they went to the mountains to have “turkey day” with Mom’s sister and Dad’s brother and his wife………they will be doing that again this year but they come home the next day with PACKAGES OF LEFTOVERS!!!!!!!! I do like a bit of turkey – how about you???
I made this last year to celebrate Thanksgiving – it’s still “working” for me!
So what’s up for you this weekend? Naps? Treats? Car trips?
HUGS, SAMMY

Well Dezi, I think the Jamboree isn’t going to be as tough as the Quests were……we had so many HARD competitions with the Quests and everything was just too complicated…..Denmaster promised that she’d make the Jamboree more about FUN than competition so we hope it will be less “pressure”. Thanks for the pep talk – when I started the Wildcats Troop I had no idea it would turn into the BIGGEST Troop at Scouts…….I just want to make sure that I’m leading everyone properly!

This year I was planning to bake a quail since I’m alone and a turkey is too much for me.
But since I’ll be traveling I’ll have turkey tacos instead.
This weekend I should dedicated to clean up the messy room in my place, put away summer clothes and find my winter clothes, but I hate doing that. I’d pay someone to do it if I weren’t broke lol

Hi Austin! I think the Jamboree will be much more FUN than the Quests have been! They’ve been HARD WORK! Who is your Patrol Leader? They should be telling you what to expect and how your Patrol will participate in the Jamboree. Our Patrol with Raz as our leader has been working on putting our Kazoo Band together, our Color Guard and our Cheerleading Team. The only stuff we know at this point is what Denmaster has posted on the sidebar so maybe this weekend or Monday we’ll get more info!!! TURKEY IS FABULOUS…..it’s like chicken and it’s delish!!!!!

Purrlease send him a Pep Talk. He so looks up to you and your leadership. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

Mau, you and I must STAY STRONG my friend – we’re Troop Leaders so we need to set an example – we are brave, we are strong, we are GREAT Scouts no matter how we do in the knowledge bowl.
