Popular Post dedkad 127 Posted February 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2014 We aren't new to Scouting. My son has been involved in Cub Scouts since he was a Tiger, and I was his den leader the entire time. He just bridged over last night to Boy Scouts with his Arrow of Light. I just had to share because I am so excited for him! 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Troop185 44 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 When my son became a Boy Scout (1985), I had a lump in my throat. I thought "He is no longer a little guy!" 1 Link to post Share on other sites

qwazse 4353 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Huzzah! I can only hope that Venturing's precipitous decline will cease so that in 4 years and there'll be a crew waiting for him! Link to post Share on other sites

Fehler 118 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 My son crossed the bridge two weeks ago, also. I'd say "no looking back", but right now he has more friends in the Pack's younger Dens than in the Troop (he socializes younger). Link to post Share on other sites

King Ding Dong 540 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My Bear made it to the District PWD last weekend, came in mid 40s in a very big district. My Tenderfoot was really bummed he can not do PWD anymore. I tried pitching Blastcar to the troop committee but absolutely no interest. Adult led troop. Link to post Share on other sites

Adult led troop.Our District has a PWD category for Boy Scout-aged boys and one for adults also. Maybe you can get your District to do that next year. There weren't too many Boy Scouts who entered, but there were quite a few adults. Link to post Share on other sites

Old_OX_Eagle83 212 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 My youngest is working on Eagle; he and I are doing a high adventure trip to the BWCA in June. Enjoy the time you have with them, soon they'll be to busy for you. I think this may be my last chance to pry his eyes from electronics, and girls, and help him see this amazing world with his own eyes. These are special times indeed.
