Spy Club

This club was created for my nine-year-old son and his friends who are interested in becoming spies. Turn out for this club has not been consistent, but there are four other boys who have come, ages 8-10.
I have tried to avoid any topic that would encourage deceitfulness or deviancy, but hope that no one finds the topics too offensive.
