Scouts & Soccer & Everything Boy!

After having so many girls, I am still getting into the groove of having boys. Scouts is a place still very new to me. Derek & Devin love it and thank goodness we have AMAZING Scout leaders in our Ward. Every week they are learning something new. They have been learning to whittle with “real” pocket knives. The boys spread apart in their “blood circle” far enough apart from each other so there is no blood.

Soccer has come to an end, another fun year for the boys. The team overall, let’s say, it was a learning year. But they enjoyed it and that is really what it is about anyway. (but winning is fun too). The boys are growing and it's happening all too fast. I am so proud of who they are becoming.

From Bobcat to Wolf - Derek & Devin

This has been a fast and fun filled year; the boys will soon be 9. They have enjoyed scouting so much, they loved Day Camp and the Pack Meetings and the other activities that they have been able to do. They have now moved rank from a Bobcat to a Wolf. Great Job Guys!!

The picture is dark because, it was set up like a campout
with a "fire", tent and all the extras.
Very Cool! - We have great leaders!!

Cub Scout Rain Gutter Regatta

Derek and Devin have really enjoyed many activities with the cub scouts this summer. Cub Scout Day Camp was a blast, they earned belt loops in Archery, BB Shooting and Astronomy. They also had the Cub Scout Rain Gutter Regatta on July 8th, it's kind of like the pine wood derby cars but they are boats. The boys have to blow air with a straw to move the boats along down the rain gutter. Derek ended up taking 1st every time and ended up with the overall top boat. Way to go Boys!!
