Hello, Does a scout leader live here?

Aaron is the 11 year old scout leader in our neighborhood, and this past month he has been working on lashing (that's tying things with ropes, for those unfamiliar...) Anyway, to reinforce those skills, he decided to teach the boys how to build a tower, using only lashing to hold it together, in our backyard. Yesterday, they finished their masterpiece:



And, just as beautiful plants signify a gardener lives in a specific home, or grease stains in the driveway points towards a motor enthusiast's home, the lashed tower in our backyard says "Scouts at work here."

that looks awesome. Please do not let Chase play on it :-) (J/K, just not until the lastest cast comes off!)
