Big Night at the Yogi Family Thursday Night.
SuperPizzaBoy goes through the Cub Scout Arrow of Light Ceremony. The Culmination of Five Years of Work.
Sweetie fixed up and fussed over the Boy’s Uniform. She fixed up Yogi’s also.
The boys were nervous before the meeting. Below is a first ever event, they all sat down together without being herded. They are wild hellions but good kids. They called themselves the Soaring Eagles Patrol
The Arrow of Light Team from Boy Scout Troop 26 of Good Shepherd Lutheren Church did the ceremony and did a great job. It was very solemn and well received.
I didn’t get a good shot of PizzaBoy but part of the ceremony is that the boys are brought to the front on the shoulders of the scouts. The Cub Scouts are all very nervous about that part.
Afterward the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts put on a group photo op for the parents.
SuperPizzaBoy and Yogi. We’re both happy its over. I’ll miss the kids and the kids parents. I really got attached to them. Most of them live in the neighborhood so I’ll be seeing about them. I’ll always be appreciative of the leadership and most of the parents of the Soaring Eagles Patrol. They went out of their way to make sure that PizzaBoy had a good experience in Scouts. The kids were also very nice to him.
PizzaBoy is going to take a break from scouting. He, Sweetie, and I all think that he might benefit from a year or so of growing up before trying Boy Scouts.
I think Scouting, both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts is very helpful to kids. Not only is it fun but in my mind unifies Family, Church, and School and teaches the kids how to be citizens.
Its fun for the parents also.
Wow it looks like a lot of awards and trophy’s and a lot of fun was had by all
Wow! Congrats to him. I know that must have been a lot of hard work. He looks so excited. You should be so proud of him.
Congrats to your son, Yogi. He looks very happy! 🙂
