the scouts


Adon was officially welcomed to the troop at a "Court of Honor" this week, and was awarded his "Scout" badge, the first level that you attain in scouting. The troop also gave him his troop neckerchief and slide, pictured here. Erika also received her first "Mother's Pin." She gets a commemorative pin for every level that Adon attains, to wear on a ribbon. I guess Dad just gets to say "That's my boy!"




Zander went to his first Cub Scout den meeting last night, having practiced all the requirements to get his Bobcat badge. Now that he's signed off as a Bobcat, he can start working on his Wolf badge, which is much more comprehensive. He has already completed the fitness requirements for Wolf (it's Zander, duh), and has worked on a "windlass" project as well. He's loving it! Looks good in his uniform, too --
