Cub Scouts

Last year about this time Ethan came home wanting to be a Cub Scout.  I was very excited because I think that Cub Scouts is soooo good for boys, so we went to the first meeting.  Then I was reminded that we would have to sell popcorn.  Ugh!  Ethan and Isaac turned out to be great salesmen.  They loaded the popcorn in their wagon, walked down our street, and had it all sold in a couple days!  Well, it is popcorn time again, so I thought it would be fun to look back at the fun year of Cub Scouts we had last year.

Ethan's first time shooting a bow and arrow at Day Camp.  The first 3 rounds he completely missed the target, but after a little advice from the teacher, he improved dramatically.

Also, Ethan's first time shooting a BB gun.  He thought it was great, and has two new Christmas present ideas.  Oh no!  He'll shoot his eye out!

Here is Ethan carving his soap fish.  They had to earn a badge where they learned knife safety and learned how to carve.  He made a really good fish!  Ethan had the smallest knife of the group, but he ended up making the nicest fish.


The boys did a badge where they had to have a campout and plan two meals on the campfire.  It turned out to be a really fun family event.  Our whole family camped out with them.  We made scrambled eggs and bacon hobo packets over the fire for breakfast.  The first few attempts ended up on fire, but we found a way to make a decent breakfast.


This is the "Bridging Ceremony" where the Cub Scouts bridged over to the next level.  It was cool.  We had to put pins on each other and then he crossed the bridge.

Ethan is no longer a Bear, now he is a Webalo 1!  Way to go!
