Arrow of Light

A big congratulations to our awesome scouter, Todd! He recieved his Arrow of Light Award last Tuesday night at Pack Meeting. He turns 11 a week from today and is so excited about being an 11-year old scout. We have had a wonderful cub scouting experience. A big thank you to his wonderful leaders and the Cub Masters for our pack. We are blessed to have very dedicated, knowledgeable and conscientious den and pack leaders.

Upward and onward!!!

Scouter-Boy

Todd earned his Webelos badge last week at pack meeting. We're so proud of his efforts. He'll earn his Arrow of Light sometime later this month in preparation for entering Boy Scouts next month. I can't believe he's almost finished with Cub Scouts. Time does indeed fly.

**A Special thank you to Kate for her awesome photography. :)

Pack Meeting

Thanks to some hard work on Todd's part and an especially wonderful den leader (and his wife) Todd has earned quite a few segments and pins this year in Webelos. It's hard to believe he won't be a cub scout anymore in just a few short months. When did that happen?

Kate manned the camera at Pack Meeting. I thought she did a great job. :)

Todd Gets Down and 'Derby'!

This morning was the much anticipated Pinewood Derby! Todd had big plans for his car, but his follow-through left a little to be desired, consequently we were still putting the finishing touches on it this morning at 9:00 (the Derby was at 10!). He designed a pretty unique looking car which he named "The Flaming Flyer". It raced well, he won 7 of his races and ended up in about 5th place. He was just thrilled that he didn't come in LAST! Apparently his memories of last year's dismal performance have not faded. We're glad that he was happy. It's always a good opportunity to teach sportsmanship (whether you're the winner or the loser). We had to get after him a little because when he won a race where he was pitted against his best friend, Tate, he pulled his car off the track and exclaimed loudly, "YESSSSS, I smoked him!". Brad and I looked at each other and then both hissed at him to be nice! Sheesh, whose kid is that, anyway? Apparently he has not mastered the art of the graceful winner, thankfully, though, he did concede victory very graciously! You win some, you lose some!
