Briefly silent but I haven't quit yet. The MB's I am working on currently are time and labor consuming ones. I've finished the last of what my dad calls "the Big Three." The Citizenship MB's.
MB #45 Citizenship in the Nation

Of the three Citizenship MB's (World, Nation, and Community), this has been my favorite. I am a little unusual among my peers in that I actually am interested in current events and national politics. (I'm sure I get that from my parent's who are extreme conservatives.) The two trips we took to our Statehouse were exciting. First, we took a private tour when the legistature was not in session. Then, we went back and saw the lawmakers in action. I even got to attend a committee meeting. It was very exciting.

I wrote to new
Senator Mike Lee and
Representative Jason Chaffetz as a part of the scouting requirement. Representative Chaffetz even wrote a letter back to me thanking me for my support. (Very Cool!) And I reported to the MB Counselor about some of the
other activities we did.
