Brady is now officially a Cub Scout! We signed him up a few weeks ago and he is in a Den with his friends from school, which makes it so nice for everyone since a lot of us know each other already. He has been really excited about the meetings and activities. We are all signed off on his Bobcat trail, which is the first badge they have to earn no matter what level they join at. He will be presented the badge at the next Pack meeting at the school, which is next month. We are also simultaneosly working on the Wolf trail to earn his Wolf badge. We are especially excited about the Pack camping trip coming up. We will be heading out to Garner State Park in mid October to camp for the weekend. This will be our first time camping as a family and we can hardly wait! We have tried the team sports thing and it just didn’t work out, but the Scouts fit Brady to a tee, it’s right up his alley and ours! We love to be outside and we love to do things as a family, so this gives us some great family togetherness. It is going to be a really fun year seeing the boys grow as a Den and learn so much. Our Leader, Terry, has so much patience and is oh so good with the boys. You can tell he really loves being their leader!
Here are some photos I snapped before last night’s meeting. He was so excited about wearing the uniform that he put it on a full 3 hours before we had to go. I couldn’t convince him to take it off and wait. What a dedicated young man! (As always, don’t forget to click on the images to make them bigger!)
Here are some videos I took also last night, it might take a little bit to load depending on your connection.
