Scouting is a great time and is open to everyone. Reach out if you have any interest in joining the Scouting family.

This weekend looks to have some great weather to get outside! Make sure to enjoy some fun activities for the whole family. We strive to grow our young people to be happy, healthy, and helpful citizens and we want everyone to be a part of that!

[Matt Phillippi @Scouter763]

Awesome collaborative work on this.

@JMU students recently teamed up with @HarrisonburgVA's Urban Wood Program to create new signage and benches for @EJCArboretumJMU. Each installation uses wood from dying oak trees removed from the arboretum. DOF acted as a consultant. Read the full story: https://t.co/d5BhCRPxEG

It always amazed me how easily I get distracted. Even writing this tweet is a distraction from what I was going to do. But I got distracted, remembered what I was going to do, turned back around and said "man, that was such an ADHD moment."

What was I doing?

@GreatCommGive Not everyone has the money to give, but if you can there are many deserving organizations taking part. If you can't give money, give some time if you can. Volunteering in your community is one of the most rewarding experiences.

[Matt Phillippi @Scouter763]

If you are in the Harrisonburg/Rockingham community, find a favorite non-profit taking part in the @GreatCommGive. While you're at it, check out the volunteer opportunities at these organizations, as well.

Hear the beat of #GreatCommunityGive day! Your donations last year allow HEF Grantee Heather Eberly to purchase this drum set for Stone Spring Elementary. What will your donations do next school year?

Wrapping up my first visit to @BechtelSummit, today. Was here to gear up for @natjamboree23 and I am even more excited than I was before. I look forward to welcoming the thousands of Scouts and Scouters to this awesome place this summer!

It takes everything in me to not audibly grumble when, inevitably, someone asks a question. And it is almost always something that was already answered.

Today has been a comedy of errors.

[Matt Phillippi @Scouter763]

And don't get me wrong. Everyone is different. I am just more of a fan of early morning starts to allow more time in the afternoon.

[Matt Phillippi @Scouter763]

It is always interesting to me to learn the cultures in different departments. When I have to visit for a review I learn so much.

[Matt Phillippi @Scouter763]

In my department, everyone would be in already, some of us on our second or third cups of coffee, etc.

Yesterday, I may have ordered every book in the resources section of the @boyscouts Scouting Heritage merit badge book. Well, those that I didn't already have.

I may have ordered a couple more to make up for those.

Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost, and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that.

[Matt Phillippi @Scouter763]

I had a nice, relatively relaxing day yesterday. Why am I exhausted?
