My Little Cub Scout






Along with turning eight comes cub scouts. Sam's best friend turned eight in December and Sam has been eagerly waiting to join him at scouts since. Now he can! We went to our first Pack Meeting last week. This is Sam and his Den and Cub Master (also known as AKELA).

Sam escorted his mommy up for the award part. You will all be proud to hear that I earned my Bobcat pin. Here is Sam pinning it on me.

Sam earned his Bobcat which he got a patch for, the Leave No Trace Awareness Award which he also got a patch for, and his biking belt loop. He has been a busy boy this month. Thanks to his best friend for helping him along with his Bobcat. And a big thank you to his excellent den leaders. Here is a picture of us with our awards.

One of the funnest parts of the Pack meeting, besides getting my pin, was the cheers we did after each boys recognition. They drew a piece of paper out of a bowl with directions for a little cheer and we all did the cheer. Sam's cheer was the Compass Cheer. We all reached into our pockets for our compasses, opened our compasses, then pointed our compass arrows at Sam and then said, "There you go!" He loved it. And each cheer was different and just as silly. We have many years of pack meeting to look forward to!
Stay tuned to see what we did after Pack Meeting.
