Awards!!

For August's Pack meeting, Buddy received 9 award pins, a compass badge, and 2 compass points! This kid's amazing!


He only has 3 more pins and he'll have all 20. According to his Cub Master receiving all 20 doesn't happen very often. 2 of the 3 he'll get quite easily before the next pack meeting. The last one is the Aquanaut. It's going to take some work but we'll be able to get it I'm sure! In October he'll be awarded his "Arrow of Light." This is one of the only badges that you can wear on your Boy Scout Uniform. He's really doing well and is enjoying it! (It must be in his blood!)

Webelos

On 6/29/2011, Buddy received some activity pin and in doing so had enough to earn his Webelos Scout award. He's really worked hard. He does enjoy scouts, for which I am really grateful! Now he's working on his Arrow of Light, which we hope he has earned in time for the September pack meeting.

Rain Gutter Rigatta

Buddy is a Webelo scout and this year his pack held a Rain Gutter Rigatta. The last 2 years they've had a pine wood derby so I was a little apprehensive with the boat thing. But it was great! Apparently the pack is going to rotate with Pine Wood Derby, Rain Gutter Rigatta and Space Shuttle something. But Buddy won't get to do that next year because he'll be an "11 year old scout." And I guess they aren't part of "Cub Scouts." I don't know. This whole scouting thing is clear as mud. Anyway, back to the Rigatta

Before the race, awards were given. This is what Buddy was awarded this month. He's been busy!

And he's taking the lead.

Go Buddy!

There wasn't a single boy who passed out either. No one even complained of seeing stars. What champs they are!

He got a ribbon for participating, he won third in his troop - then Mister fixed his sail - then he won third over all. Way to go!!!! He had a great time and that's what matters the most! The Rigatta was so much less competitive than the derby. It was kinda nice. :)

Buddy made this great tool box at scouts! He received his Bear Scout last month! And when he turn 10, he'll be a Webelo!!

2nd Place

Buddy went to our Stake Pine Wood Derby last night. He placed 2nd! Yippee for you!!! If you look closely, you'll notice that Buddy got braces - a little over a month ago. The first month he had orange and just last week he got blue.

Awards..

Buddy received his "wolf" in scouts tonight. He also received 2 belt loops, 1 gold arrow, 3 silver arrows, and his outdoor ethics badge. Yea Buddy!! Your hard work is paying off! Since he can't work on his "bear" he can do more in his wolf book and get more arrows, belt loops and beads. This is such a great thing for Buddy. I'm glad he enjoys it. With his dad and grandpa being the scouters they are, we could expect nothing less from Buddy! Way to go Buddy!!
