Scouts

Last night was the Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts. Nate is in 5th grade and has decided to continue with scouts and become a Boy Scout. He loves everything about scouts....minus the uniform :) That is just tolerated. All the cub scouts received awards, badges, pins at the banquet and the Weeblos (5th graders) "cross over" to Boy Scouts. They make it meaningful, which is so nice. Nate is so excited about all that lies ahead with being a boy scout. (Mom's a little worried about her baby camping every month with boys ranging in age from 11-18. But that's a different story.)

We are so proud of Nate and the commitment he has shown to scouting. Great job, Nate! We love you!

Our new Boy Scout!

This is the "Crossing Over" Ceremony. All the cub scouts that want to become a boy scout, need to cross the bridge (along with mom and dad). Then he receives new shoulder bands, new scarf thingy and new book! Nate was beeming!

Check out the excitement! He came home and read the new scout book in bed and then as soon as he woke up, starting reading again!

Aidan received some awards at the banquet too! That's Aidan who is shaking hands with his leader.

Proud boy!!! Great job, Aidan!
