Last Webelos Camp...and last of everything else

I just went to my last cub camp as Cub Scout leader...Had my last PTA board meeting as President yesterday...got released from Primary Presidency last week.... What am I suppose to do now?!!!!!!!

This is the first year I have gone without Clint. I still had a blast because I love all of those boys so much! I am so grateful I get to do it all again with Derek. I just wish I could slow down the clock. The childhood of my boys is slipping through my fingers. In 16 years, Derek will be leaving on his mission! Clint in only 8! I'm losing them!!!!!

Arrow of Light Ceremony

Jeff has been wanting to make a new bridge for the Cub Scouts for a long time...he did it just in time for Clint's Arrow of Light Ceremony. He really is able to put things together and make them look classy. The vinyl letters of the Scout Law were his idea too. (Thanks, Ashley, for making it happen!) The boys walk across the bridge when they complete all of their Cub Scout requirements, and enter into Boy Scouts. It was a great ceremony. The cubs were met by the 11 yr. old Scouts on the other side of the bridge. Jeff did such a great job.
I was a little emotional because Clint is growing up. He is 11 years old. I am just really grateful that he is growing up to be such a good boy. We are proud of Clint and Michael and Ethan too. We started in Scouts the same time that all of these boys did. It is cool to see how they have turned out. They are all good boys.

Buddies

You have to have a buddy at camp at all times. But our boys are good buddies anyways, and they have been buddies for a long time. Michael and Clint have been buddies since they were both 2 & 1/2 years old. Landen and Ethan for at least the past 4 years. This is their last year at Cub Camp. The time has gone too fast.

I think I would probably be an emotional wreck knowing that this is the last time I will get to go to camp with Clint, if I didn't take solace in knowing that I get to do it all over again with Derek.

Scouting is such a strong supporter of childhood.

I love Cub Scouts.
