A story from the troop

Unplugged Merit Badge

I unplugged from my phone by heading into the mountains. I didn't head there alone. I took my husband, but that was good because one of the biggest reasons I want to unplug/uncoupled from my phone, is so that I can properly pay attention to my husband and be a couple with him.

I unplugged from my phone by heading into the mountains. I didn't head there alone. I took my husband, but that was good because one of the biggest reasons I want to unplug/uncoupled from my phone, is so that I can properly pay attention to my husband and be a couple with him.

So off we went into the wild country. We slept under the stars in the back of our truck. We hiked four miles up a trail to an unnamed turquoise lake under the highest peak in the range. One of us took a dip in the cold lake. One of us relaxed (more properly described as collapsed) and basked in the sun (while properly sunscreened of course).

As the sun began to dip in the sky we carefully picked our way back down over the boulders and along the rustic and sometimes rough trail. It was a wonderful adventure. Together. Without distraction. And my phone didn't even miss me.

Football GameLaura Hall earned Football Game Merit Badge · Oct 16

“Okay, I'm going to call it paid that I watched a football game on TV. WITH my best friend who is football fanatic. And she is the only one I would watch a football game. We set it up and hooked it up to a big screen. We wore jerseys. And we cheered and ate food. So I'm going to get this in the spirit of something that I would never do without a little push!”
