Today the Cub Scouts had our last get-together before breaking until after the holidays. We met up at Courts of Colfax, which is an assisted living apartment complex, and went Christmas caroling. It was nice and the residents enjoyed it, but the logistics are not great for it. The hallways are pretty narrow, so if you have a large-ish group it's hard for everyone to stand together to sing, so the ones in the back are pretty far away from the ones in front and it's hard to see and hear what the front of the group is doing. We tried singing as we walked the halls but that doesn't work too well either. But, it was appreciated. Afterwards we had a carry-in type banquet at Pleasant View church, where we handed out awards and badges and had a nice Christmas dinner. The Lemps worked pretty hard to organize and get everything decorated, and it was a great event for the scouts. They also handed out appreciation gifts for all the adult leaders, which was a hand-lettered and designed decorative plate, very nice, I plan to put it up in the kitchen at home.
