Charlie and I spend a lot of time on outdoors activities, and he's getting to an age where just hanging out with his papa is getting a little tiresome.

Does anyone have children who might be interested in a sort of Scouts club? It would be good to get them socializing and learning skills that could be useful for island life at the same time.

On the same note, we got any adults who would be interested in helping to run an activity like that?

	I'm Jake. If you knew me from before, I'm sorry but I don't remember. But I live in a jungle. I can help with a lot of outdoors activities for kids, if you want? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hey Jake, yeah I remember you. I'm Hemingway. Welcome (back). That sounds great, I'm sure they would love that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Irayo. If you can think up a list of things you think the kids should learn, I'll tell you what I can help with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All right. Although I'm sure if there's anything you've got in mind, games or lessons or anything, we can give it a go. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How old is Charlie again? I think my oldest are younger than him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He's nearly four now. It's his birthday next Monday, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My oldest are only thirty two months so it'll be a year or two before they're ready for that, but it sounds lovely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's that, nearly three? I get lost after about 18 months. But I'm sure we can tailor something to whatever age range shows up, if you think they'd like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Four months shy of it yes. Their attention span is shorter compared to a four year old I think but if you're willing to try it out we could send them along. I can help the first couple times, but after that it'd have to be Tom or one of the adult kids. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-05 07:04 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, why not. If it's not for them yet, they can just keep trying every few months or so. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I can help you out, sounds like fun. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-01 10:41 am UTC (link)
	That's great, thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jrsully 2017-05-01 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	No problem. Between growing up here on the island and my time in the Corps I should be able to show them plenty of things that would be useful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-05 07:03 am UTC (link)
	Absolutely, you've got quite the skill set. I'm sure they'd love it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If you need any boring biology lectures to explain all that nature stuff to them, I am your man. They literally put my kids to sleep. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2017-04-30 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	They're not old enough to understand yet sweetheart. But your lectures do make for great bedtime stories, they always work like a charm! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, that's what you keep saying! But I swear Viv planted seeds the other day. They went into the ground and not into her mouth! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's great! Probably a happy accident or from watching you rather than listening, but still! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think our daughters are geniuses. You can't convince me otherwise! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ernestoic 2017-05-01 10:44 am UTC (link)
	I think that could be very useful! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let me know what you want it about and I'll write something up. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think Stevie would like something like that. I might come along though, or send Bucky, at least the first few times. He's...a handful. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-01 10:44 am UTC (link)
	Absolutely! I think parents/guardians coming along, at least to begin with, is a great idea. Kids tend to love it when the grown ups play the games and stuff too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	_izzy_ 2017-05-01 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	Is it just a club for little kids? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-05 06:58 am UTC (link)
	Not at all! We can tailor the activities to suit whoever is interested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can I join? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cool! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think Rachel would love it. Depending on the age of the children, I could teach them some basic first aid. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-05 06:59 am UTC (link)
	Wonderful! How old is Rachel now? That's a swell idea. I know Izzy would like to come along, and Charlie has been practising bandaging (I don't know if he just likes to make me look like a mummy, but hey!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's seven. Time goes by so quickly. It sounds like he'll be very skilled at making sure a wound is entirely covered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-08 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Good grief, she's growing up! It really does. Four sounds so big. It's been a real privilege to watch him grow. Oh yes, definitely. He's very thorough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proud_miserable 2017-05-08 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	It really is a privilege. The twins will be a year old this July. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-09 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	Really? Wow, that year has gone in pretty quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It really has. I'm amazed at how quickly Linda and Natalie are reaching milestones. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'd be happy to help out. I know some great campfire recipes that the children can make. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2017-05-05 07:01 am UTC (link)
	Oh, that's fantastic. In fact, I wonder if we have a sort of community campfire sometime. It seems like the kind of thing that might bring unexpected people closer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacey_burrows 2017-05-05 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	That would be so much fun! We need more things to do as a community. (Reply to this) (Parent)
