My friend Robert sent these games along. You may have seen some before, but Robert has added in some fun tweaks to them. Thanks Robert! … We do something called ugly baby where we pull pantyhose off of kids heads, but we put bibs and diapers on the contestants as […]

Here is a great idea from my friend Steve… OK, Here’s the deal. It’s a club transition year for us. We have lost leaders due to marriage, grad school, etc. We also graduated our club core group. So we’re starting the year with new leaders, and a small core of […]
OK, so basically our economy seems like it was hijacked by Black Bart. I went into a local yesterday Einstein’s Bagels and it was empty. They said is has been very slow and people’s hours were being cut big time. My guess is you are trying to make the most […]
Our area does a lot of Work Crew weekend trips. We have a YL camp two hours away, so not only do we help at YL camps, we sometimes do Work Crew at non-YL camps also. The typical tension I’ve seen on Work Crew is work vs. spiritual experience. There […]

Yes! Hot Dog club. We are staging a multi-school hot dog eating contest. It involves four weeks of playoffs to determine each high school’s hot dog eating champion and then a final at a popular local mall stage to determine the north east Phoenix champion. This is the first club […]
Here is another blob video from somewhere out there. Wait until the end when he goes over and his friend tries to catch him. My friend and fellow leader David B came to mind instantly. He would try it in a heartbeat. Obviously we would never do this.
On assignment for Wyldlife this summer we decided to do a guys hike and a girls talk. We split them up, I led the guys hike so I know a lot about that, but I can get info about the girls identity talk if you are interested. The theme of […]
