Crazy Scouters

Last Sunday I got to go to a wood badge beading ceremony for 2 of my friends from wood badge last summer. (Just for the record 4 of the 5 women who took the course last summer have earned their beads. I'm sure the other one will. She has been through a lot this past year.) Anyway, it was the night before our wood badge course for this year was to begin so there were lots of wood badgers there including a dr, a lawyer, a stake president and I don't know the qualifications of the other dignitaries. While we were waiting someone started singing "The Muffin Man" song. I don't know how "normal" people sing the song but wood badgers do it like this. Whoever starts it goes to someone and they stand facing each other holding hands right to left and left to right and bounce up and down while they sing it. When they complete the song, they each run to someone else and do the same thing. That keeps up until eveyone has been "Muffin Manned." As I sat back taking this scene in with grown men who in another life are professionals were holding hands, bouncing up and down and singing the muffin man. I couldn' help but chuckle and then wonder what kind of totally crazy people I was associating with.  And these are the people who take your boys on camp outs.
