This year Jay joined Cub Scouts, while Cole ended his scouting career. We were disappointed Cole didn't want to continue, but it is nice not to have to juggle two den meetings. Rob elected not to be the den leader this year, but is still very involved.
At the second pack meeting (the pack includes all scouts from Belle Hall from 1st to 5th grade), the boys had already earned the Bobcat Badge and kickball belt loop. They all went on stage to receive the awards and shake the pack leader's hand. Jay and his buddies were literally jumping up and down. I imagine they are all blurs in the photos. They looked so cute in their too-big uniform shirts and baseball caps. The den leader is certainly going to be challenged by the energy of this group!
The first camping trip was last weekend. Jay came home filthy, which seems to be the sign of a good time! Cole and I stayed home and had a really nice time together. I think we both enjoyed the quiet, but Cole really missed Jay by the afternoon.
The campers cheated a little this year and brought the air mattress. Rob said he is never going camping again without it. Knowing that, I may be willing to go next time!
