Scounting Years May Have Come To An End

Neal got a call from the Stake Clerk that President Little wanted to see him Wednesday evening at 8:45.  One always speculates what that meeting might consist of and what it is all about.  The Stake Clerk told Neal that I should come along if I was available.  So, we went over to the Stake Offices and into President Little's office where he gently informed Neal that they were reorganizing the Stake Young Men's Presidency and they would release him on Sunday.  President Little thanked him for his many years of service to the stake and the young men of the stake and told him what a great influence for good he had been on the young men.

When we got home, I asked Neal how he was feeling and I could tell that he was feeling sad that the scouting program for the church was on it's way out and that his involvement in the scouting program would probably become close to non-existent.  50 years of scouting is a long time to be involved in a program.

Neal was very happy that he had just finished two slides for two of the young men leaders.  He did a fish for one and a shell casing for another.  Here are the two slides he carved and gave away.




The shotgun shell he carved at the cabin and then painted it when we got home.
