Cub Scouting again...

 I love Cub Scouts!  If I could serve anywhere in the church besides Young Women, I would choose Cub Scouts hands down.  Love what it's about and how it teaches young boys the skills they need to be great young men and then later, men.  When I served in Cub Scouts 5 or so years ago, all my kids loved going to the Pack meetings and doing the activities.  The closer Jonathan got to his birthday, the more excited he got for scouts and the fact that it was HIS turn to do it for real now.  His first Pack meeting was a mere 3 days after his birthday.  He hadn't even been to a den meeting yet!  It was a Bike Derby, as you can see by the picture below.  He had so much fun!!

 The second Pack meeting was last month and it was Space Derby.  That's a lot of derbys, I know.  But the boys have thoroughly enjoyed them!  Jonathan had to make a space rocket thing and it would propel itself across a wire after it was wound up tight and that's how they raced.  Jonathan came in 2nd in both rounds that he raced.  Good solid performance!!

 Jonathan also earned his Bobcat and was awarded with that at this Pack meeting.  In our Pack, the Den leaders paint their faces as the Cubmaster talks for their Bobcat award.  It's always a highlight and Jonathan thought it was cool to get his face painted.

(I don't know why he does Bug Eyes, except he must think it's funny...)
