Last Tuesday, Brody received his Cub Scout Bear award. He (WE) worked so hard during our month at the cabin to finish all the requirements. Phewwwww! Along with his Bear, Brody earned 5 arrow points, 1 gold and 4 silver. In case you are unfamiliar with the Cub Scout program, you have to accomplish 10 requirements to earn 1 arrow. That should tell you how busy we were at the cabin! He also earned a belt loop for computers, roller skating, volleyball, communicating and good manners. What a fun night!
I love that the boys get to "pin" their mom and dad when they earn awards such as the Bear. As a mom, I know that the cub scout program is a LOT of work not only for the cub scout, but for the parents. This really teaches the boy to see how they got to this point in cub scouting.
Brother and Sister Myers have been great Bear leaders. For one of their activities, they made instruments. They performed their instruments at the pack meeting while singing, "Yankee Doodle." It was cute. It's hard to believe that their are only 2 Bears in Brody's pack. In January, we will have no Bears and no Wolves. Case will be our next boy to come into Cub Scouts and that is in April. He will be there a year by himself. Our ward has recently decided that we will need to combine with the other wards in order to make our park work. It's a bummer that we don't have more boys in our ward.
