Scouts

Jared received his arrow of light last month.  It's hard to believe he is ready to move on to boy scouts.  I was actually a little sad sitting at pack meeting and thinking that after six years of having a boy in cub scouts it would be my last one for the next seven years.  Cub scouts is such a great program and it's been a lot of fun seeing all the things Jared has accomplished the last three years.

His pack did a fun presentation including face paint, feathers and tomahawks.

Jared walked across the bridge to join the Arrow of Light recipients.

Jared loved the arrow he gets to take home and hang on his wall.

Meanwhile Andrew has been busy working on his Eagle Scout project.  He has been doing a book drive for a local elementary school with needy children.  We spent the summer with boxes of books piled in our living room.

Some of the scouts helping deliver the books.

Just some of the books.  He had another car full.

In August they had a court of honor and received the merit badges they earned at scout camp.

Now with his project complete he is one 50 mile bike ride away from completing his last required merit badge and he will be ready for his Eagle board of review!
