Not a Positive Role Model

Last Sunday Joel and Ben attended a pool party as part of a father/child program we signed up for with the JCC as an alternative to cub scouts this year. We were not thrilled with cub scouts last year. So this year we're trying J Tribes. They divide the fathers/kids into "Tribes" based on age, each tribe has a leader, and they meet once a month for planned activities and have a few camping trips and other all-tribe activities during the year.

So like I was saying, last Sunday Ben and Joel met with their group at the neighborhood pool of their assigned tribe leader. Joel's comment when they came home was that he hadn't asked this guy (the tribe leader) what he did for a living, but he sure looked like he had a lot of money - fancy neighborhood, had mentioned his boat, etc.

As it turns out, not even 24 hours after the pool party the police raided the guy's house and found $60,000 worth of marijuana,and equipment used for growing, distributing, etc. Both he and his wife were arrested on numerous charges of possession/intent to sell, etc.

I guess a) that answers the question of where the guy was getting all his money, and b) Ben's tribe is now leaderless.... Maybe we should go back to cub scouts :P
