I think Cub Scouts is a brilliant and inspired program…especially for boys like my Jacob. He loves the accomplishment, the learning, the masculinity of it all! He loves the sociality with the other scouts, the leaders and the snacks! He comes home every Tuesday night sweaty, and happy.
He passed off all of the necessary requirements to get his Bear patch, and a golden arrow (10 electives). He also received his whittling chip (allowing him to carry a pocket knife…heaven help us all!). This summer we'll work on his "Faith in God" and his electives.
When the boys earn their patches they have something called "KTM" – "Kiss the Mom!" Last year he was embarassed to do it – this year he seemed more comfortable (while Caleb was in the back giggling out of embarassment for him).
Love this kid!
Edited to add: Superb photography by friend, Phoebe Hall! 🙂
