My dad (Legrand Wolf) has been so good to me (Richie West.) I couldn’t be luckier having him as both the head of my troop and my father.
The other scouts have noticed how close we are. Of course, they accuse me of brown-nosing and they make all sorts of wisecracks, saying I’m a daddy’s boy and the like. But I don’t care. They’re just jealous. And, frankly, if they knew the real truth they’d probably be too shocked to make jokes about it!
I was very excited when he thought it was time I took the pledge of honor to the elite scouts. It’s an important form of recognition and it felt kinda cool and validating that he wanted to perform the ceremony. I felt like I was making him really proud.
I was a little confused when he called me into his office to do it….
