Scout It Out

I was an honorary cub scout around age 6, because A) my brother was an actual cub scout, B) our mom was troop leader, and C) we didn't have a babysitter.

[*Sorry, that's from all the Star Trek books I read as a child. Scotty said it all the time, but I have no idea what it means. If it's something dirty, please accept my apologies/knowing looks & elbow jabs.]

And finally, bakers, why don't you give us the 411?

Or, sure, that works.

(SO CLOSE.)

Thanks to Colleen R., Miranda E., Robert W., & Amy H. for always being prepared... with their phone cameras.
