i would never have expected anyone to question the existence of the SSTT.

for the unconverted and ignorant, the SSTT is the Sesame Street Tag Team.

when i told the other guys about this fella who asked why we existed, they were shocked.

but since someone had posted that question to me, i shall answer.

the sstt came about pretty naturally...there was no effort at all in forming it. and i believe that bonding starts at the bottom...if we can start bonding as a small group and we succeed, and people see that we succeed, it's a fantastic example of what we're about. and that's what ycsog is - we stick by each other. because it's our unity that makes us so special. that's what we want to see from the boys...as well as educate and equip them with more skills...expose them to what other scouts are doing, so they won't feel as left out. i'm not saying we can do it, but we will try.

there you go.

elmo asked if there was a need to justify our existence.

i guess not.

we need to be so comfortable with each other that while we don't need to be updated on everything each of us does, we need to be able to trust each other to make the right decisions.

as i've told them...over time, the name "sstt" will be changed to "ycsog".

because we build bonds that will never break.
