Kirkland Northwest Scouting

2008

 
 


You often hear that Scouting is not cool but I beg to differ. Learning how to do things like campfires, cooking, setting up your own tent or any of the other skill sets involved in the 100’s of Badges and Awards is far better than sitting in front of a computer all the time.


The areas of Badge work are boundless from Space Exploration, Snowboarding, Pet Care, Photography, Carpentry, Team Player, etc, and yes Computers as well.
