{E's past 8 weeks}

E has had a record 8 weeks.

Week 1: All school winner of the Geography bee (he beat the upper grammar and high schoolers!)

Week 6: 3rd Place winner in 3rd grade in the Science Fair

Week 8: 2nd Place Winner in the Pinewood Derby!

Way to go E! We sure are proud of you!

{raingutter regatta}

This year we only had one boat to make for the big race.

So here is E with his custom designed and built boat!

{Bear}

E received his wolf at pack meeting in July, and is now officially a part of the Bear Den.

He doesn't like getting up in front of the group to have his face painted so he is always glad this only happens once a year.

{Arrow of Light}

K worked hard an earned his Arrow of Light in Cub Scouts back in March, but because of scheduling he received it at July's Pack Meeting. He also was a part of the formal ceremony to cross the bridge into Boy Scouts.

He loves scouts and is excited to one day earn his Eagle.

We are proud of him for sticking with it and earning all the achievements he could in cub scouts.

{Presenting the Cars}

So this month brought the Pinewood derby and the boys (including the big one) loves this.

A bit bittersweet because it was K's last one as he turns 11 next month and will be out of cubs.

Presenting the cars....

K's

E's

{Blue and Gold Cake}

For Blue and Gold the boys had to make a cake that was about cub scouts

So we present to you.......a Pinewood Derby Cake!!

{An Honor}

One of our friends and our boys' Cub Scout Pack Leader, was sworn in as a judge in January after winning the election in November.

He asked the Pack if they would be willing to miss a few hours of school and do the flag ceremony at the ceremony.

The boys did an excellent job. I think about 9 of them actually participated and were able to present our nation's flag and pledge in front of the audience.

This picture shows K, carrying the Nevada State Flag, while crossing in front of the Supreme Court of Nevada. Also in attendance were the senators from our state and congressmen.

It was a great experience for K and E. (And unfortunately, for them, they didn't miss school because it was already a day off for them.)

Another of the boys waiting for their cue.

{E's Bobcat}

E finally got his Bobcat award yesterday night at pack meeting after we missed June's Pack meeting. He is happy and thrilled to be going to scouts and has enjoyed the meeting he hs been too.

Yes he isn't in his uniform because it is a swimming pack meeting.

{the Race}

Pack Meeting is where we race our Pinewood Derby cars. This was E's first Pack meeting and K was given his Webleos stuff as he turned 10 the month before. K also got his religious knot which was a lot of hard work to receive.

{A Bear}

This month in pack meeting K was awarded his Bear...which he earned in Decemebr but it has been so busy with everything this is the first pack meeting we have made it to since then....he was happy to get it and had his face painted as part of the ceremony.

{Pack Meeting for June}

One of the two pictures I got before my camera died...stinky batteries!

They were having a recycling race and here's our K in action.

March Pack Meeting

Well with K turning 8 this year he also gets to be a part of cub scouts. So every month we get to attend pack meeting too.

This month he earned his wolf badge and in our ward the boys get their face's painted so here is K with his painted face.
