Kiddo #1 has two of four signatures so far on his Eagle Project Proposal. He plans to build a split rail fence at the local nature center to encourage people to stay on the trail in an area where some people have been wandering into the woods.
His goal is to have it done by early November. Very proudt that he presented to the parent committee, next he needs the scoutmaster and the district sign offs.

Adding a wetsuit and prescription goggles helped my oldest with his swimming so much. He did great at his last swim lesson. Thanks to Amazon.com for their selection, pricing and quick delivery. I was able to outfit him for under $50 - a good deal and convenient to find the items we needed.

Boys are on a hike today. If son #1 completes a few more things, he will earn First Class before summer camp (#3, he's 13). Son #2 completed the Swimming merit badge. We are encouraging them to log for Personal Fitness over summer vacation.

My husband and 2 older boys are home from camp! Whew, another year in the books! Very proud of the boys -- my oldest did Wilderness Survival!

My sons are choosing their summer camp merit badges. Son #1 -- Camping, Forestry, Wilderness Survival. Son #2 -- Astronomy, Nature and one TBD. I like their choices. Hope they get good counselors.

I completed it with a friend my second year at camp, and I didn’t receive a partial. Meanwhile. 2 scouts last year received partials. Make sure your scout completes the requirement where it’s like “plan a meal for your Troop for a weekend camping trip” or something like that prior to camp. No other reason why he should get a partial if he completes the pre reqs.

My sons took on new roles in their troop -- 11 y.o. is Assistant Patrol Leader and 13 y.o is Scribe.

Son #1 cleaned the garage this weekend as a part of his Family Life merit badge work. Earlier, we put gravel on a path in the yard as the family project. He's almost done with this badge! Just need a family meeting. Son #2 got the hang of diving and going under water well enough to complete the Swimming merit badge -- woo woo!

Son #1 finished the Swimming merit badge! Son #2 is almost done but needs to work on diving.

Son #1 is sewing on his own merit badge for the first time. Then he will do is new position patch.

We road tripped to the Burpee Museum in Rockford, IL for their Archaeology merit badge class. The museum has Jane, a juvenille T-Rex and an interesting display of Triceratops-type skulls. They also have a paleontology lab, a lot of fossils and the museum runs trips to Montana and Utah.
