Duty To God In Action Req. 2B
This #WebelosWednesday we take a look at requirement 2B of the Webelos Duty To God In Action.
2B: Discuss with your family how the Scout Oath and Scout Law relate to your beliefs about duty to God.
I personally have recited the Scout Law since I became a Boy Scout 25 year ago... Wow that makes me sound old! I fully believe that if you adopt these words and practice them in your daily life, they will make you a better person and draw you closer to your family and Father in Heaven.

Lower Calf Creek Falls
Trail Head GPS:37.793607, -111.415004
This in n' out 5 mile hike is one that you will remember forever. Wonderful hike for the whole family to take. The entire trail is sand which will slow your pace down, but children 5+ should not have too many issues. Remember, your legs are just a bit longer than the kids so don't rush too fast. Along the trail there are 14 markers / information stops (Points of interest include; Fremont Indian granaries, petroglyphs, and wildlife). These work great to gauge your distance as number 14 is the end of the trail where it meets the Lower Falls. The hike, for the most part, follows Calf Creek through a beautiful red rock canyon. At the end of the trail is the 126 foot Lower Calf Creek waterfall. The pool is roughly 10-15 feet at it's deepest point and the water feels like one degree above freezing when you first jump in. Pack a lunch and relax on the beach in the middle of a canyon in Escalante, UT.
Parking: Just off of highway 12 near Escalante, UT. The trailhead is located within Calf Creek Campground. Day use parking is $5.00 and overnight camping is $15.00/day. The trail is very popular and parking can become an issue during holidays. Best to start this hike early morning so you beat the heat and the rush of other hikers.

Family Tree
This #MeritBadgeMonday we take a look at requirement #6 of the Genealogy Merit Badge. I have heard on a few occasions that you do not know where your going unless you know where you have been. This is very true when it comes to genealogy. You do not fully know who you are until you know who you came from. For some it might be knowing why and how your family is really good at making raspberry jam. For me, it's understanding why there is a love of working with your hands and gardening. Usually we tend to like and do the same things that our parents like and do... and where did they start? Traditions in my mind define our families. In a good way our traditions separate us from others (how boring would it be if everyone was good at everything) and make us unique in this big melting pot of a world.

Difference Between Frogs and Toads
#MeritBadgeMonday
Frogs:- Narrow Bodies
- Eyes are large, round, and high on the head
- Skin is smooth and moist
- Habitat is near water
- Longer hind legs
- Able to jump high and long distances
- Many predators
Toads:
- Do not require their home to be near water
- Wider / flatter bodies
- Hind legs are shorter and less powerful
- Will take small hops and sometimes will run rather than jump
- Skin is dry, bumpy, and rough
- Eyes are lower on the head and almost "football" shaped
- Not many predators. Their skin lets out a bitter taste and smell that burns the eyes and nostrils of its predators.
